Can you show the work please. Thank you ^^;
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yah
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt{3x+7}=1-\sqrt{x+2}\]
then suaring on both sides and then solv it
Still Need Help?

hve u got it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well I squared it and I canceled the squares on the 3x+7 so I am left with square root 3x+7 = (1+square root x+2) squared.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yah then open rite side
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it is 1-sq root x+2
OpenStudy (mertsj):
sqrt(3x+7)=1-sqrt(x+2)
square both sides: 3x+7 = 1 -2sqrt(x=2)+x+2
2x+4 = -2sqrt(x+2)
Divide by -2
-x-2=sqrt(x+2)
square both sides: x^2+4x+4 = x+2
x^2+3x+2=0
(x+2)(x+1)=0
x=-2, -1 but -1 does not check and is an extraneous root so the answer is -2.

-2 and -1 both
OpenStudy (mertsj):
-1 does not check since sqrt(-3+7) +sqrt(-1+2) = 2+1=3 NOT 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yah ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Divide by -2 to both sides?
OpenStudy (mertsj):
of course
