sqrt(x+5)=x-1

Solution

x + 5 = x - 1

Solution

x = 4

Solution steps

x + 5 = x - 1

Square both sides:

x + 5 = x^{2} - 2 x + 1

x + 5 = x^{2} - 2 x + 1

Solve

x + 5 = x^{2} - 2 x + 1 : x = 4, x = - 1

x = 4, x = - 1

Verify Solutions:

x = 4

True

, x = - 1

False

The solution is

x = 4

Popular Examples
