I think what you meant was
(2x - 5)² = 11 -- (1)
Square root both sides of (1), i.e.
√(2x - 5)² = ± √11 -- (2)
From (2), we have
2x - 5 = ± √11 -- (3)
By adding 5 to both sides in (3), we have
2x = 5 ± √11 -- (4)
Divide both sides of (4) by 2, and we obtain
x = (5 ± √11)/2 -- (5)
From (5), the solution set of (1) is
x = (5 + √11)/2, (5 - √11)/2 ...Ans.
Answer:
number 1 is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Work backwards. You are given -3 , -30 for C. If you add -3 + 3 and the divide it by 2 , you get 0. If you add 8 + -20 and divide by 2 you get -6 , so the answer is C.
