OpenStudy (anonymous):

so which one are we looking at

OpenStudy (rational):

square both sides of your given equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what will it look like after I do that because I don't know if ill meess up

OpenStudy (rational):

do it first

OpenStudy (rational):

then we can wry about messing up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk how

OpenStudy (rational):

\[\large \sqrt{x+2}=\sqrt{x+3}\]

OpenStudy (rational):

square both sides

OpenStudy (rational):

\[\large \sqrt{x+2}~^2=\sqrt{x+3}~^2\]

OpenStudy (rational):

the square and radical eat each other out giving you \[\large x+2 = x+3\]

OpenStudy (rational):

subtract x both sides : \[\large 2 = 3\]

OpenStudy (rational):

Is 2 = 3 ?
