Answer:

x = 2 or x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 2 + sqrt(x - 2)

x - 2 = sqrt(x - 2)                  You could divide both sides by sqrt(x - 2)

sqrt(x - 2) = 1                        Square both sides

x - 2 = 1                                Add 2 to both sides

x = 3

There is a second way.

x - 2 = sqrt(x - 2)                 Square

x^2 - 4x + 4 = x - 2             Transfer x - 2 to the left

x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0                   Factor

(x - 2)(x-3)      = 0                 Find the roots.

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

We have to check both results.

x = 2 + sqrt(x - 2)

2 = 2 + sqrt(2 -2)

2 = 2 + 0

2 = 2    This seems to work.

x = 2 + sqrt(x - 2)

3 = 2 + sqrt(3 - 2)

3 = 2 + sqrt(1)

3 = 2 + 1

3 = 3  And this works.

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

= 30,550 rupee owed

Step-by-step explanation:

yr1 = 50000 x 0.10^1 = 5000

5000 - 10000 = 5000 credit from debt.

yr 2 = 50000 x 1.10^2 = 500 debit from debt = 5000-15000= 10,000 credit from debt

yr 3 = 50000 x 1.10^3 = 50 debit from debt

5000 + 500 = 15000 where 50,000 owed initially and yr1 and yr 2 paid in full interest of 5500 and we deduct this from his payment = 25000-5500 =

19500 paid of initial and nothing owed on interest.

50000-19500= 30,500 rupees owed + 50 rupee interest.

= 30,550 rupee owed
