Show work and solve for √ ( 5 x − 9 ) − 1 = x.

Mandarinka [93]3 years ago

sqrt (5x - 9) - 1 = x

sqrt(5x - 9) = x + 1

Square both sides:_

5x - 9 = x^2 + 2x + 1

x^2 - 3x + 10 = 0

(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0

x = 5 or -2.

Lets look for for any extraneous solutions:-

x = 5 ;  sqrt (5*5-9) - 1 = sqrt16 - 1 =  3  and  x = 3  (right hand side of equation)

so x = 5 is a solution

x = -2:  sqrt(5*-2 - 9) - 1 =  sqrt (-19) - 1  and x = -2  so this is extraneous

Answer:- One solution x = 5

<u>Answer:</u>

x = -2 and x = 5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

\sqrt{(5x-9)} -1=x\\\\\sqrt{(5x-9)}=x+1

Taking square on both sides of the equation to get:

(\sqrt{5x-9})^2=(x+1)^2\\\\5x-9=x^2+2x+1\\\\x^2+2x-5x+1+9=0\\\\x^2-3x+10=0

Factorizing this equation to get:

x^2+2x-5x+10=0\\\\x(x+2)-5(x+2)=0\\\\(x+2)(x-5)=0\\\\x=-2, x=5

Checking for any extraneous solution:

Put x=-2 in the given expression:

\sqrt{5(-2)-9} -1=-2\\\\\sqrt{-19}-1 \neq -2 ---> extraneous solution

3х - 7y = 13<br> 6х + y = 7<br> Elimination!! Pls help guys
balandron [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

(3х - 7y = 13)×-2

6х + y = 7

-6х +14y = -26

6х + y = 7

15y=-19

y=-19÷15=-1.26

6x+-1.26=7

6x=7+1.26

6x=8.26

x=1.37
