Question

solve the equation graphically by converting it to an equivalent equation with 0 on the right.
2x-5=√(x+4)
am stuck

Answer 1

To solve \(2x -5 = \sqrt{x+4}\) I would start by squaring both sides of the equation. Then I would move everything to one side so the other side = 0.

Answer 2

would that take away the square root over the x+4 when I square it

Answer 3

yes, you get
\[(2x-5)^2=x+4\] or
\[4x^2-20x+25=x+4\]
