Answer 1

Answer:

$x=\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{3-5x}=\sqrt{x+2}\\Square\:both\:sides\\\left(\sqrt{3-5x}\right)^2=\left(\sqrt{x+2}\right)^2\\\mathrm{Expand\:}\left(\sqrt{3-5x}\right)^2:\quad 3-5x\\\mathrm{Expand\:}\left(\sqrt{x+2}\right)^2:\quad x+2\\3-5x=x+2\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:3-5x=x+2:\quad x=\frac{1}{6}\\x=\frac{1}{6}\\\mathrm{Verify\:Solutions}:\quad x=\frac{1}{6}\space\mathrm{True}\\\mathrm{The\:solution\:is}\\x=\frac{1}{6}$
