To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable x.
First, we will square both sides of the equation to get rid of the square roots:
(Sqrt(x-2) + Sqrt(5))^2 = Sqrt(20)^2(x-2) + 2Sqrt(x-2)*Sqrt(5) + 5 = 20
Now we can simplify the equation by expanding the left side:
x - 2 + 2Sqrt(5(x-2)) + 5 = 20x + 3 + 2Sqrt(5x - 10) = 20
Next, we can isolate the square root term on one side of the equation and move the other terms to the other side:
2Sqrt(5x - 10) = 20 - x - 32Sqrt(5x - 10) = 17 - x
Now, square both sides to eliminate the square root term:
(2Sqrt(5x - 10))^2 = (17 - x)^24(5x - 10) = (17 - x)(17 - x)20x - 40 = 289 - 34x + x^2x^2 + 54x - 329 = 0
Now we have a quadratic equation that we can solve using the quadratic formula:
x = (-54 ± sqrt(54^2 - 4(1)(-329))) / 2(1)x = (-54 ± sqrt(2916 + 1316)) / 2x = (-54 ± sqrt(4232)) / 2x = (-54 ± 65.071) / 2
Now we have two possible solutions for x:
x1 = (-54 + 65.071) / 2 = 11.071x2 = (-54 - 65.071) / 2 = -59.071
Therefore, the solutions to the equation are x = 11.071 and x = -59.071.
To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable x.
First, we will square both sides of the equation to get rid of the square roots:
(Sqrt(x-2) + Sqrt(5))^2 = Sqrt(20)^2
(x-2) + 2Sqrt(x-2)*Sqrt(5) + 5 = 20
Now we can simplify the equation by expanding the left side:
x - 2 + 2Sqrt(5(x-2)) + 5 = 20
x + 3 + 2Sqrt(5x - 10) = 20
Next, we can isolate the square root term on one side of the equation and move the other terms to the other side:
2Sqrt(5x - 10) = 20 - x - 3
2Sqrt(5x - 10) = 17 - x
Now, square both sides to eliminate the square root term:
(2Sqrt(5x - 10))^2 = (17 - x)^2
4(5x - 10) = (17 - x)(17 - x)
20x - 40 = 289 - 34x + x^2
x^2 + 54x - 329 = 0
Now we have a quadratic equation that we can solve using the quadratic formula:
x = (-54 ± sqrt(54^2 - 4(1)(-329))) / 2(1)
x = (-54 ± sqrt(2916 + 1316)) / 2
x = (-54 ± sqrt(4232)) / 2
x = (-54 ± 65.071) / 2
Now we have two possible solutions for x:
x1 = (-54 + 65.071) / 2 = 11.071
x2 = (-54 - 65.071) / 2 = -59.071
Therefore, the solutions to the equation are x = 11.071 and x = -59.071.
