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

Solve these equations.<br> 1. -16 = v - 14<br> 2. -2n = -22<br> 3. 25 = b + 7
leonid [27]

1) -16 = v - 14

Add 14 to both sides.

v = -2

2) -2n = -22

Divide both sides by -2.

n = 11

3) 25 = b + 7

Subtract 7 from both sides.

b = 18

What is the formula of x
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Isolate "x" on one side of the algebraic equation by dividing the number that appears on the same side of the equation as part of "x." For example, in the equation "12x = 24", rewrite the equation as "x = 24 / 12" and solve for "x." The solution is "x = 2."
