Well , for the first one the answer is
x=3
8*3+1 = 25
And the square root of 25 is 5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt{x-7}+5=11\] subtract 5\[\sqrt{x-7}=6\] square both sides
\[x-7=36\] add 7\[x=43\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[-4\sqrt{x+9}=20\] has no solution because the left hand side is negative and the right hand side is positive
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt{6x+5}=\sqrt{53}\] square both sides and solve
\[6x+5=53\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wow dude, you just blew me away.
