Question

a student concluded that the solution to the equation startroot 2x+1 endroot +3=0 is x=4 do you agree? explain why or why not.

Answer 1

Answer:

X=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

√2x+1 + 3= 0

Subtract 3 from both sides

√2x+1 +3 +3 = 0-3

√2x1 = -3

Square both sides

{√2x+1)² =(-3)²

2x+1 =9

2x= 9-1

2x = 8

x = 8/2

x = 4

Hence I agree that the solution is x = 4 based on the explanation above
