Question

Find the non-extraneous solutions of the square root of the quantity of x plus 3 minus 4 equals x minus 1.

x = −3 and x = −2

x = −2

x = −3

x = 5

Answer 1

i got x = 2 or 1......

Answer 2

Not at all clear what the equation is. Can you use the equation editor to retype?
Or post a screenshot of the question.

Answer 3

he said it was sqrt of x+3 -4 that equals to x-1.. solve for x @aum

Answer 4

It could be sqrt(x+3) - 4 = x - 1 also. Not clear where the square root stops.

Answer 5

\[\sqrt{x+3-4} = x-1\]
\[\sqrt{x-1} = x-1\]
\[x-1 = x^2-2x+1\]
\[(x-2)(x-1)\]
\[x=2 or 1....... both work\]

Answer 6

I think the equation is \(\Large \sqrt{x+3} - 4 = x -1\).

Answer 7

The first solution works for the equation in my previous reply.

Answer 8
