Question

Please help me! Can't figure these out.

Answer 1

For this case we have the following expression:

`√(x+3) + 4 = 5`
To solve it, we follow the following steps:
We subtract 4 on both sides of the equation:

`√(x+3) + 4 - 4 = 5 - 4`
We rewrite the expression:

`√(x+3) = 1`
We square both sides of the equation:

`(√(x+3))^2 = 1^2`

`x+3 = 1`
We subtract 3 on both sides of the equation:

`x + 3- 3 = 1 - 3`
We rewrite the expression:

`x= - 2`
Answer:
The solution of the equation is:

`x= - 2`

Answer 2

√(x + 3) + 4 = 5

first subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the x.

√(x + 3) + 4 (-4) = 5 (-4)


√(x + 3) = 5 - 4


√(x + 3) = 1

Next, get rid of the root by squaring both sides


(√(x + 3))² = (1)²

x + 3 = 1

Finally, isolate the x. Subtract 3 from both sides

x + 3 (-3) = 1 (-3)

x = 1 - 3

x = -2

x = -2 is your answer

hope this helps
