Complete the work shown to find a possible

solution of the equation.

(x-5)2 +5 = 2

(x+5)-3

(x - 5)2 = (-37

172

a possible solution of the equation is

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

the expression takes the form of a radical surd. to solve a radical surd we need to isolate the expression with the root from those not under the root sign

first;

this a surd, so

to eliminate the root we need to multiply it by an expression that will take it away,

since a root is the same as a power of half ()^1/2, then multiplying a half by two will make it one

we need to square both sides to eliminate the root

x -5 = (-3)^2

make x subject

x = 9 + 5

x = 14

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.

answer: b.

step-by-step explanation:

the y coordinate for point b is 0, and answer b is the only one with that y coordinate.
