Question

Solve the posted equation.
Show work please. Thank you! (:

Answer 1

\[\sqrt{3x+5}=\sqrt{4x-2}\]

Answer 2

square both sides, get
\[3x+5=4x-2\] solve for x

Answer 3

So if you square both sides, you keep both sides equal, but you no longer have to deal with the square roots so you get the simpler problem,

3x+5=4x-2

Answer 4

The answer is 7
but my answer was x+7
Thats why i'm confused. :/

Answer 5

my answer was -x+7

Answer 6

Well this problem is completely solvable for x, so you should be able to completely isolate x to one side.
3x+5=4x-2
I would begin by adding 2 to both sides.

Answer 7

\[3x+5=4x-2\]
\[5=x-2\]
\[7=x\]
