Question

Which of the following is a solution to square root of x minus 2 end root plus 5 equals 9 ?

A. x = -2
B. x = -6
C. x = 18
D. x = 16

Answer 1

give me a sec !!

Answer 2

\[\sqrt{x+2}+2=5 \]
\[\sqrt{x+2}=1-5\]
\[(\sqrt{x+2})^{2}=-4^{2}\]
x+2=16
find x

Answer 3

get it ??

Answer 4

just wondering how'd you get square root of x+2 end root +2 = 5 from the picture I provided above?

Answer 6

from Equation button :D !

Answer 7

:D

Answer 8

Answer 10

right :D

Answer 11

thats the equation so how did you get\[\sqrt{x+2}+2=5\] from that?

Answer 12

oh sorry :(( i'm confused :D i'll resolve it

Answer 13

thanks

Answer 14

\[\sqrt{x-2}+5=1\]
\[\sqrt{x-2}=1-5\]
\[(\sqrt{x-2})^{2}=(-4)^{2}\]
x-2=16
x=16-2
x=14

Answer 15

sorry for the first wrong answer :((
but 14 isn't at a choices !!
are you sure that choices are correct ??

Answer 16

A. x = -2
B. x = -6
C. x = 18
D. x = 16

these are the answers provided @Gegomohamed

Answer 17

MMmmmm I'm not sure try it by yourself and tell me :((

Answer 18

\[\sqrt{x-2}+5=1\]
subtract 5 from both sides
\[\sqrt{x-2}=-4\]
Then square both sides
\[(\sqrt{x-2})^{2} = (-4)^{2}\]
get rid of the square root and square -4
\[x-2=16\]
add two to both sides and you get
\[x = 18 \]

The answer is C
