What is the solution of StartRoot x squared + 49 EndRoot = x + 5?
x = twelve-fifths
x = negative twelve-fifths
x = –6 or x = –3
no solution

Respuesta :

[tex]x=\frac{12}{5}[/tex] or x= twelve-fifths

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the solution of:

[tex]\sqrt{x^2+49}=x+5[/tex]

Solving:

Taking square on both sides:

[tex](\sqrt{x^2+49})^2=(x+5)^2\\x^2+49=x^2+2(x)(5)+25\\Simplifying:\\x^2+49-x^2-10x-25=0\\-10x+24=0\\-10x=-24\\x=\frac{-24}{-10}\\ x=\frac{24}{10}\\x=\frac{12}{5}[/tex]

Verifying the solution by putting x = 12/5 in the given equation, we get true result.

So, [tex]x=\frac{12}{5}[/tex] or x= twelve-fifths

Option A is correct.
