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

−cz+6z=tz+83 solve for z
nasty-shy [4]
To answer this item, we combine all terms involving the variable z to only one side of the equation. All else will be placed on the other side of the equation. This is as follows,

   -cz + 6z = tz + 83

Transposing,
   -cz - tz + 6z = 83

Factoring z out,
  z(-c - t + 6) = 83

Dividing the equation such that z will be left on one side of the equation,
   
<em>  z = 83 / (-c - t + 6)</em>
