Question

What is the solution to the equation below? 12 + square root 1 - 5x = 18

Answer 1

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Square root 1 is 1. Add that to the 12 to get 13. Subtract 13 from both sides to get: -5x = 5. Divide both sides by -5 to get your answer: -1

Answer 2

Answer:

$x = -7$

Explanation:

• $12 + \sqrt{1-5x} =18$

• $\sqrt{1-5x}= 18-12$

• $\sqrt{1-5x}= 6$

• $1-5x= 6^2$

• $1 -5x = 36$

• $-5x = 36-1$

• $-5x =35$

• $x = -7$
