Question

What is the solution to: √2x+13 -5=x?

x = -13
x = -10/11
x = 6
x = 3/7

Answer 1

√2x+13 -5=x

we first want to isolate all the x terms to one side. so can you move the x's to the same side and move all the 'non x's' to the other side using algebra?

Answer 2

Is that
\[\sqrt{2x+13}-5=x~~?\]

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

@SithsAndGiggles Yes it is

Answer 5

i'd move the 5 over to the other side, then square both sides to get rid of the square root
sqrt(2x+13) - 5 = x
sqrt(2x+13) = x + 5
(sqrt(2x+13))^2 = (x+5)^2
2x + 13 = (x+5)^2
