sqrx+10=-5
x+10=25
x=15

anonymous · Answer

it was for the previous equation also

akshay_budhkar · Answer

root of x+10=root 25=5+8=13
so angela you are wrong.

anonymous · Answer

agree with Akshay

anonymous · Answer

it will be x = 225
cause the result is
$$\sqrt{x}=-15$$

i can bet.

anonymous · Answer

right answer 225

angela210793 · Answer

wht?????????????????
subtract 8 both sides and u'll get sqr(x+10)=-5 raise to the 2nd power
x+10=(-5)^2=25
subtract 10
x=25-10
x=15

akshay_budhkar · Answer

sqr(x+10)=-5 
this is wrong.
root cannot be negetive
check the graph of root x

angela210793 · Answer

sqr 25 may be -5 can't it?

anonymous · Answer

see the equation.
not whole squroot
only $$\sqrt{x}$$

angela210793 · Answer

i know everything abt sqrx and its graph...

akshay_budhkar · Answer

no
sqr 25 cannot be -5
check the graph

akshay_budhkar · Answer

its always mod

angela210793 · Answer
