Question

Solve for x and show your steps. Is the solution extraneous? Check your work to show how you determined if the solution is extraneous or not.


`√(2x-7) =1`

Answer 1

Answer:x=4

Explanation:
square both sides of the equation to get rid of the square root
2x-7=1^2
2x-7=1
Then add 7 to both sides of the equation
2x=8
Then divided both sides of the equation by 2
x=4 answer
