Question

Ok so I have to solve this equation \[\sqrt{5x-3}=\sqrt{2x+3}\] Ive got it down to 5x=2x+6 how do i get 2x on the other side I know I divide.

Answer 1

@actionsports

Answer 2

subtract 2x from both sides of the equation...

so on the left hand side... what is 5x - 2x = ?

Answer 3

its B a zero exists when 9x - 3=0 or x = 1/3 which means the curve starts at x= 1/3

the comparison graph 3square root x has a zero at the origin

Answer 4

5x-2x is 3x

I just asked my sister and she got me to x=2.4

Answer 5

I put x into the equation and they don't add up

Answer 6

so then the equation becomes

3x = 6

solve for x.

Answer 7

3x=6 /:3
x=2

Answer 8

Ok thank you both!
