Solve for x. √2x+3=√6x-1 1 2 3 √6
is x under the square root??
yes.
+3 and -1 is under square root?
I can't do it ... it seems the X cancels ... maybe I'm doing a mistake somewhere. !
\[\sqrt{6x} - \sqrt{2x} = \sqrt{4x} \rightarrow 3 + 1 = 4 \rightarrow \sqrt{4x} = 4\] now square both sides \[\sqrt{4x}^{2} = 4^{2} \rightarrow 4x = 16 \rightarrow x = 16 \div 4 \rightarrow x = 4\]
@JoshDavoll your answer is wrong!!! because √6x - √2x != √4x
@alirezamemarian - yes @Kreshnik - the numbers at the end are the choices. they clumped together for some reason. I tried to change them but it wouldn't let me. @JoshDavoll - that isn't one of the choices.
\[\sqrt{a} - \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{a - b}\]
\[\sqrt{6x}-\sqrt{2x}=4\] \[\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{2x}-\sqrt{2x}=4\] substitute \[\sqrt{2x}=a \] and you'll have \[3a-a=4 \Longrightarrow 2a=4 \Longrightarrow a=2\] substitute back \[\sqrt{2x}=2\] square both sides 2x=4 x=2
ok now i solve it! please wait!!!
okay.
wait till @alirezamemarian finishes his work... it would be unfair if you leave :$ ... wait on :D
i'm waiting.
I'm waiting too :D
lol ;)
is the question \[\sqrt{2x + 3} = \sqrt{6x - 1} \] or \[\sqrt{2x} + 3 = \sqrt{6x} - 1\] ? My answer wasn't wrong i just answered for the 2nd question. Sorry.
the second one was the question ...
@JoshDavoll - the first one is correct. I just don't know how to put that long bar on the top of the square root.
I made a mistake... it seems I turned \[\sqrt{3}] into 3 LOL .... then my answer is wrong... forget IT I'll try again :S
okay. Thanks everyone who is trying to help me! I really appreciate it! :)
√6x = √2x + 4 square both side 6x= 2x + 16 +8√2x 4x-16=8√2x square both side (4x-16)^2=64*2x \[16x ^{2}-256-128x=128x\] \[\div16\] \[x ^{2}-16-16x=0\] \[\Delta=24\] \[x=(-b \pm \Delta)/a\] x1=20 x2=-4 that x2 is Unacceptable finally x=20!!!
\[\sqrt{2x+3}=\sqrt{6x-1}\] square both sides and you have: 2x+3=6x-1 2x-6x=-1-3 -3x=-4 \[x=\frac{-4}{-3} \longrightarrow x=\frac{4}{3}\]
@emdrais take the pencil and DRAW IT because no one got the same task you're asking for... I'm confused now... write it well again please .. WITH PENCIL LIKE THIS...
|dw:1333177883692:dw|
|dw:1333177956843:dw|I'm drawing right now...
then \[x=\frac43\] check out my previous post... that's correct !
