Solve for x:
5 - sqrt(x) + sqrt(3 x - 11) = 6
Subtract 5 from both sides:
sqrt(3 x - 11) - sqrt(x) = 1
(sqrt(3 x - 11) - sqrt(x))^2 = -11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x) sqrt(3 x - 11) = -11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 1:
-11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 1
Subtract 4 x - 11 from both sides:
-2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 12 - 4 x
Raise both sides to the power of two:
4 x (3 x - 11) = (12 - 4 x)^2
Expand out terms of the left hand side:
12 x^2 - 44 x = (12 - 4 x)^2
Expand out terms of the right hand side:
12 x^2 - 44 x = 16 x^2 - 96 x + 144
Subtract 16 x^2 - 96 x + 144 from both sides:
-4 x^2 + 52 x - 144 = 0
The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:
-4 (x - 9) (x - 4) = 0
Divide both sides by -4:
(x - 9) (x - 4) = 0
Split into two equations:
x - 9 = 0 or x - 4 = 0
Add 9 to both sides:
x = 9 or x - 4 = 0
Add 4 to both sides:
x = 9 or x = 4
5 - sqrt(x) + sqrt(3 x - 11) ⇒ 5 - sqrt(4) + sqrt(3×4 - 11) = 4:
So this solution is incorrect
5 - sqrt(x) + sqrt(3 x - 11) ⇒ 5 - sqrt(9) + sqrt(3×9 - 11) = 6:
So this solution is correct
The solution is:
Answer: x = 9
Answer:
(7, 46)
Step-by-step explanation:
The offered answer choices have x-values of 7, 9, 10. The corresponding upper limit of y-value is ...
x=7 : y < 8·7 -3 = 53 . . . . . 46 is in the solution set, 60 is not
x=9 : y < 8·9 -3 = 69 . . . . 82 is not in the solution set
x=10 : y < 8·10 -3 = 77 . . . . 89 is not in the solution set
Of the choices offered, only (7, 46) is in the solution set.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
n-3
Step-by-step explanation:
for every input, the output is three less (4-3=1, 7-3=4, 8-3=5). That rule needs to stay consistent, so no matter what the input is (n), the output is always going to be three less than, making it y or output=n-3
