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!
