Question

√(5x-1) +3 = x

Answer 1

\[\sqrt{5x-1}=x-3\] is a start
square both sides, get
\[5x-1=x^2-6x+9\] and solve the resulting quadratic
don't forget to check your solutions

Answer 2

the quadratic will be
\[x^2-11x+10=0\] which luckily factors as
\[(x-10)(x-1)=0\] and so \(x=1\) or \(x=10\) but DON'T FORGET TO CHECK!!

Answer 3

thank you so much
