Guys Can you help me solve and check for extraneous solutions it would mean a lot.

(x+1)^2=3x+7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you please explain how you got that answer, I seriously do not get any of this?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

lol in all honesty I'm just watching examples online because this seems like Algebra 2 (which I know how to solve) but the extraneous solution is confusing me All I did was that if you have a sqrt on one side then can go backwards on it by making it ^2 on the other side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks I kind of understand it now :)

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yeah is like balancing the equation until you can FOIL it (idk if your familiar with that) then you combine like terms then you'll have a quadratic equation(x^1+x+#=0) that you can factor and then you'll have 2 solutions for x

Nnesha (nnesha):

you have to take square both side you can cancel out square root with square

Nnesha (nnesha):

bec square root can be write as exponent fore example square root of x is \[\huge\sqrt{x} =x ^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }}\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

so when you take square root |dw:1421289798828:dw| 2 cancel out and you got just x that's how :)
