Solve for x, given the equation sqrt(x-5) + 7 = 11.

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

@Directrix can you help w/ this one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You want to eliminate the square root. To do that, you need to square the entire equation. So I would move the 7 to the right hand side and then go ahead and do that.

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

sqrt(x-5)=11-7 now what?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Directrix (directrix):

Okay. Let me be sure we have the equation correct. |dw:1418758944873:dw|
