Question

If sqrt(5) = x + 3 , what is the value of (x + 3) ^ 2 ?

A. 5
B. 6
C. 7
D. 8

Answer 1

Option A, 5

Explanation:

√5 = x+3

5 = (x+3)^2

Hence the answer is Option A, 5

Answer 2

A. 5

Explanation:

We are given that:

`\tt √(5)= x + 3.`

Squaring both sides of this equation, we get:

`√(5^2) = (x + 3)^2`

`\tt (x+3)^2 =5`

Therefore,
`\tt (x+3)^2 =5`
