Answer:

  True

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your equation is intended to be ...

  \sqrt{x+56} =x

The usual method of solution squares both sides, then solves the resulting quadratic.

  x+56=x^2\\\\x^2-x-56=0\\\\(x-8)(x+7)=0\longrightarrow x=\{-7,+8\}

Considering the initial problem, we require x ≥ 0, so the x=-7 solution is extraneous.

__

A graphical solution shows there is only one value of x that satisfies the equation. The other "solution" arises from considering the negative square root. It is introduced when the equation is squared.

A pipe is leaking at 1.5 cups per day. About how many gallons per week is the pipe leaking
Soloha48 [4]
Multiply 1.5 times 7. That comes to 10.5 cups per week. Now convert it to quarts. There are 4 cups in one quart, so divide 10.5 by 4. That comes to 2.625 quarts per week. Now convert it to gallons. There are 4 quarts in a gallon, so divide 2.625 by 4. That comes to about 0.7 gallons a week, or 7/10.
