Question

Someone please help me!!!!!! Solve the equation medal rewarded
The square root of x = the square root of x-5, plus one

Answer 1

\[\sqrt{x} = \sqrt{x-5} + 1\]

Answer 2

Both sides of the equation are positive, so you can square both sides without getting into trouble. Try that.

Answer 3

squaring both sides -

x = x-5 + 1 + 2 sqrt(x-5)

=> 4 = 2 sqrt(x-5)

2 = sqrt(x-5)

squaring both sides again -

4 = x-5

x = 9.,
