Solve: s= 4+ the square root of s+2

s = 7, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

s = 4 + √(s + 2)

isolate the radical:

s - 4 = √(s + 2)

square both sides:

s + 2 = (s - 4)²

expand:

s + 2 = s² - 8s + 16

move all terms to one side:

s² - 8s + 16 - s - 2 = 0

combine like terms:

s² - 9s + 14 = 0

factor:

(s - 7)(s - 2) = 0

zero product property:

s = 7, 2

y=mx+b

step-by-step explanation:

m is slope, b is y-intercept
