Answer:

option D

Explanation:


√(10x+50)=x+5\\\\(√(10x+50))^2=(x+5)^2\\\\10x+50=x^2+10x+25\\\\0=x^2+10x-10x+25-50\\\\0=x^2-25\\\\0=(x-5)(x+5)\\\\x=5\\\\x=-5

now trying for the original equation


√(10(5)+50)=5+5\\\\√(50+50)=10\\\\√(100)=10\\\\10=10

and


√(10(-5)+50)=-5+5\\\\√(-50+50)=0\\\\√(0)=0\\\\0=0

so it's option D
