Which statement describes a process to solve sqrt b+20 - sqrt b=5?

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is:

√b+20 - √b = 5

The first step is we will add √b to both sides:

√b+20 -√b +√b = 5 +√b

√b+20 = 5+√b

Now take square at both sides:

(√b+20)^2 = (5+√b)^2

b+20 = 25+10√b+b

Now combine the like terms:

b+20-25-b=10√b

-5 = 10√b

Divide both the terms by 10

-5/10 = 10√b/10

-1/2=√b

Take square at both sides:

(-1/2)^2 = (√b)^2

1/4 = b

So in this type of question we add radical terms to both sides and square both sides twice....

Neither P, nor A are on the sketch 
I guess P is the upper right corner of the rectangle 
and A=(0,1) 

P belongs to the line going through (1,0) and B(0,y) 
<span>but we don't know the y-coordinate of B </span>

<span>the triangle is right and isosceles, so pythagoras a²+a²=2² ... 2a²=4 ... a²=2 ... a=sqrt2 </span>
now look at the right triangle BOA 
<span>his hypotenuse is AB=sqrt2 and the <span>the kathete</span> OA is 1 </span>
so y²+1²=(sqrt2)² ... y²+1=2 ... y²=1.. y=1 
so the coordinates of B are (0,1) 

the line going through (1,0) and (0,1) is L(x)=-x+1 

P belongs to this line, so the coordinates of P are P(x,-x+1) (0<x<1) 

b) so if that's P, the height of the rectangle is -x+1 and the width=2x 
<span>so its area A(x)=2x*(-x+1)= -2x²+2x 

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.
