Answer:
Explanation:
√(2x - 6) + √( x + 4) = 5
√{2( x +4) -14} + √(x +4) = 5
let ( x +4) = Q
√{2Q -14) + √Q = 5
√(2Q -14) = 5 - √Q
take square both sides
2Q - 14 = 25 + Q -10√Q
Q -39 = -10√Q
Q + 10√Q -39 = 0
√Q = t
t² + 10t -39 = 0
t² +13t -3t -39 = 0
( t + 13)( t -3) = 0
t = -13 , 3
but t > 0 becoz t = √Q
so,
t = √Q = 3
Q = 9
x + 4 = 9
x = 5

We have
√(2x - 6) + √( x + 4) = 5
√{2( x +4) -14} + √(x +4) = 5
let ( x +4) = Q
So,
√{2Q -14) + √Q = 5
√(2Q -14) = 5 - √Q
Squaring on both sides
2Q - 14 = 25 + Q -10√Q
Q -39 = -10√Q
Q + 10√Q -39 = 0
√Q = t
t² + 10t -39 = 0
t² +13t -3t -39 = 0
( t + 13)( t -3) = 0
t = -13 , 3
but t > 0 therefore t = √Q
that is
t = √Q = 3
Q = 9
x + 4 = 9
x = 5
