sqrt(16-5x)=x-2

Solution

16 - 5 x = x - 2

Solution

x = 3

Solution steps

16 - 5 x = x - 2

Square both sides:

16 - 5 x = x^{2} - 4 x + 4

16 - 5 x = x^{2} - 4 x + 4

Solve

16 - 5 x = x^{2} - 4 x + 4 : x = 3, x = - 4

x = 3, x = - 4

Verify Solutions:

x = 3

True

, x = - 4

False

The solution is

x = 3

Popular Examples

x + 5 x = 2 x + 1

x^{0.5} = 3.118

0 = 4 x^{2}

sqrt(x+\sqrt{x-5)}=5

x + x - 5 = 5

x - 7 = 4
