Answer:
I think that it's 12 but I don't know for sure.
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have the following inequality:

We multiply both sides of the equation by -1.
By doing this, change the symbol of the inequality.
We have then:

From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:
Answer:
The solution set is:
{x | x R, x < -12}
Answer: x" = 5.69
Step-by-step explanation:
The graphic solution is attached.
Verifying the solution:
Existence condition: x > 0
2x - 4 = √x + 5
√x =2x - 4 - 5
√x =2x - 9 (²)
x = (2x - 9)²
x = 4x² - 36x + 81
4x² - 36x - x + 81 = 0
4x² - 37x + 81 = 0
Δ = -37² - 4.4.81 = 1369 - 1296 = 73
x = 37 ±√73/8
x' = 3.55
x" = 5.69
checking:
2*3.55 - 4 = 3.1
√3.55 + 5 = 6.88 Its not the same ∴ 3.55 is not a solution
2*5.69 - 4 = 7.39
√5.69 + 5 = 7.39 ∴ it's the only solution
The equation is y=2x+1 so plug in 43 for y
43=2x+1
42=2x
21=x!!
