Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP : Solve for x, show all work

Answer 1

Start off by squaring both sides to go from


sqrt(8x+1) = 5

to

8x+1 = 25


I'll let you continue

Answer 2

how did 5 become 25

Answer 3

5 squared = 5^2 = 5*5 = 25

Answer 4

I'm squaring both sides to get rid of that square root.

Answer 5

oh ok

Answer 6

could you help me with another?

Answer 7

sure

Answer 8

Start by subtracting 5 from both sides. Then square both sides.

Answer 9

\[\sqrt{8x+1}=
5=8x+1=
25=
8x=25-1=
8x=24=
x=24/8=
x=3\]

Answer 10

if you like my answer please give me medal thanks!

Answer 11

x - 7 = 22 ?

Answer 12

11 - 5 = 6, so the right side becomes 6 after you subtract both sides by 5


After squaring both sides, you'll get


x-7 = 36

Answer 13

i have a few more?

Answer 14

yes you can ask!

Answer 15

Divide both sides by -4, then square both sides.

Answer 16

Remember to check your final answer.

Answer 17

i cant set this problem up

Answer 18

Divide the right side by -4 to get ???

Answer 19

-5

Answer 20

good so

sqrt(x+9) = -5

then square both sides

Answer 21

x + 9 = 25

Answer 22

good, now solve for x

Answer 23

remember to check your answer (it's always a good idea to check your answer)

Answer 24

thank you, i have 2 more?

Answer 25

sure

Answer 26

Square both sides. This will effectively get rid of both square roots.

Answer 27

6x + 25 = 53

Answer 28

yes, now solve for x

Answer 29

oh wait, it's 6x+5 = 53

Answer 30

you don't square the 5

Answer 31

last one

Answer 32

sqrt(x+2)+4=x


sqrt(x+2)=x-4


x+2=(x-4)^2


x+2=x^2-8x+16


0=x^2-8x+16-x-2


0=x^2-9x+14


x^2-9x+14=0


I'll let you finish

Answer 33

Remember to check your answers

Answer 34

why so long?

Answer 35

what do you mean?

Answer 36

the other ones didn't have as many steps

Answer 37

this one has more steps because squaring the right side means you use the FOIL rule

Answer 38

x^2-9x+14=0
by factorizing
x^2-2x-7x+14=0
x common and 7 common
x(x-2)-7(x-2)
x-2 bracket is common then
(x-2)(x-7)=0
now
x-2=0
x=2
or
x-7=0
x=7
