Answer:
(-65)/17
Step-by-step explanation:
Evaluate 3/(x - 2) - sqrt(x - 3) where x = 19:
3/(x - 2) - sqrt(x - 3) = 3/(19 - 2) - sqrt(19 - 3)
19 - 3 = 16:
3/(19 - 2) - sqrt(16)
19 - 2 = 17:
3/17 - sqrt(16)
sqrt(16) = sqrt(2^4) = 2^2:
3/17 - 2^2
2^2 = 4:
3/17 - 4
Put 3/17 - 4 over the common denominator 17. 3/17 - 4 = 3/17 + (17 (-4))/17:
3/17 - (4×17)/17
17 (-4) = -68:
3/17 + (-68)/17
3/17 - 68/17 = (3 - 68)/17:
(3 - 68)/17
3 - 68 = -65:
Answer: (-65)/17
To solve for <em>x</em>, we must first isolate the term containing <em>x</em> which in this problem is 5x.
Since 10 is being added to 5x, we subtract 10 from both sides of the equation to isolate the 5x.
On the left, the +10 and -10 cancel out and on the right, 20 - 10 is 10 and we have 5x = 10.
Now we can finish things off by just dividing both sides of the equation by 5. On the left the 5's cancel and on the right, 10 divided by 5 is 2 so <em>x = 2</em>.
