Question

√x+3 = √5x-1 Find the value of X

Answer 1

x= 1

Explanation:

`√(x+3)=√(5x-1)`

Square both sides.

x + 3 = 5x - 1

Subtract 3 and 5x on both sides.

x - 5x = -1 - 3

-4x = -4

Divide -4 into both sides.

-4x/-4 = -4/-4

x = 1

Answer 2

x=1

Explanation:

sqrt(x+3) = sqrt(5x-1)

Square each side

x+3 = 5x-1

Subtract x from each side

3 = 4x-1

Add 1 to each side

4 =4x

Divide by 4

x=1
