Question

Helppppppppppppppppppp​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(x + 2) - 15 = -3

sqrt(x + 2) = 12 (add 15 to both sides)

x + 2 = 12² = 144 (square both sides)

x = 142.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 142

Step-by-step explanation:

√x+2 - 15 = -3 (Given)

√x+2 = 12 (Add 15 on both sides)

x + 2 = 144 (Square both sides to get rid of the radical)

x = 142 (Subtract 2 on both sides)
