Solve the equation Square root of x minus 5+ 7 = 11 for the variable. Show each step of your solution process. (10 points)

Respuesta :

[tex]\sqrt{x - 5} + 7 = 11[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{x-5}) ^{2} = (4)^{2}[/tex]

|x - 5| = 16

x - 5 = +/- 16

x - 5 = 16     or     x - 5 = -16

  +5   +5               +5    +5  

    x = 21       or        x = -11

Answer: x = {21, -11}
