sqrt(5x-16)=3 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$\sqrt{5 x - 16} = 3$$
Because equation degree is equal to = 1/2 - does not contain even numbers in the numerator, then
the equation has single real root.
We raise the equation sides to 2-th degree:
We get:
$$\left(\sqrt{5 x - 16}\right)^{2} = 3^{2}$$
or
$$5 x - 16 = 9$$
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$5 x = 25$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 5
x = 25 / (5)
We get the answer: x = 5
The final answer:
$$x_{1} = 5$$
