3*(x+5)^(1/2)=-9
(x+5)^(1/2)=-3
x+5=9
x=4
3*(4+5)^(1/2)=-9
3*(9)^(1/2)=-9
3*3=-9
4 is an extraneous solution
Multiply 2/1 or 2 on both sides to get "y" by itself
y ≤ -14
Answer:
Ted is correct. Maggie made mistakes while trying to isolate x for both equations.
Step-by-step explanation:
For 3x-2=0, in order to move -2 to the left side, Maggie had to add 2 on both sides because -2+2=0. The same problem is seen for x+5=0. Maggie had to subtract 5 on both sides because +5-5=0
