solve

OpenStudy (thomasfire55):

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[3+\sqrt{x+2} = 11\] the first step would be to get the radical by itself

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[\sqrt{x+2} = 8\] follow so far?

OpenStudy (thomasfire55):

yea

OpenStudy (photon336):

so now we have to get rid of the square root sign

OpenStudy (thomasfire55):

3?

OpenStudy (thomasfire55):

where did you get 3 from

OpenStudy (photon336):

(x+2)^0.5+3 = 11 (x+2)^0.5 = 11-3 (x+2)^0.5 = 8

OpenStudy (photon336):

it should be 8 \[\sqrt{x+2} = 8\] \[(\sqrt{x+2})^{2} = 8^{2}\]

OpenStudy (thomasfire55):

so x would be 62

OpenStudy (photon336):

yeah let's check that

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[\sqrt{62+2}+3 = \sqrt{64}+3 => 8+3 = 11 \]

OpenStudy (thomasfire55):

thank you

OpenStudy (photon336):

yeah lol I had my screen minimized so i accidentally put 3 just ignore that
