I might be misreading something here but if:
x^5+243=0 subtract 243 from both sides
x^5=-243 raise both sides to the 1/5 power (or take the fifth root of both sides)
x=-3
So there is only one solution, x=-3
Let x be equal to the number of drinks Yasmine consumed.
Jose had 2 times that drink so his number of consumed drink would be represented by 2x.
Sally had 3 fewer drink than Jose so her number of consumed drinks would be represented by 2x-3.
Altogether, the three of them consumed 72 drinks so your equation would be:
x+2x+(2x-3)=72
add like terms together:
5x-3=72
have the term with x be alone on one side of the equation, in this case by adding three to both sides:
5x=75
now divide both sides by five for the value of x and your answer is.....
x=15
A^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 7^2 = 11^2
49= 121
121 - 49 = 72
Square root(72) = 8.49
or you can just keep the square root symbol with 72 under it
