How do you solve \sqrt { 3x - 22} = \sqrt { 10- x }?
1 Answer
Explanation:
We need to get rid of the radicals (square roots), so square both sides.
(sqrt(3x - 22))^2 = (sqrt(10-x))^2
Now we have, which is much easier to deal with
3x-22=10-x
Add the variable
4x-22= 10
Add
4x= 32
Divide both sides by
x=8
Hope that helps!
