Question

Solve the equation the square root of the quantity x plus 4 minus 3 equals 1 for the variable. Show each step of your solution process.

Answer 1

Answer:

I know this is late for you but stick with me for others:

(| = the end of the √) The Expression is: √x + 4 | - 3 = 1

First, add 3 to both sides: √x+4(-3+3) | = 1 + 3 = (√x+4 = 4)

Now, since the √ is over the x and the 4, you square both sides: (√x+4)^2=4^2 = (x+4 = 16)

After that, you take away 4 from both sides: x (+4 -4) = 16 - 4 = (x = 12)

So, the answer is: x=12

Hope I helped!

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We should express this word problem in an equation form:

  square root of the quantity x plus 4 minus 3 equals 1 for the variable

              √x                                  +    4       -     3      =      1

The equation is:

             √x + 4 -3  = 1

              √x + 1  = 1

Now add (-1) to both sides;

             √x + 1 + (-1) = 1 + (-1)

              √x = 0

Square both sides

              (√x)² = 0²

                 x = 0
