Question 41613: I have an equation that is stumping me. (sqrt5x+5)-15=0
I have solved it down to 5x = 230
x = 230 over 5
From this point on I am stuck. Have I done something wrong or where do I go to finish it?
Thank you.

Solve:
sqrt%285x%2B5%29-15+=+0 Add 15 to both sides.
sqrt%285x%2B5%29+=+15 Square both sides.
5x%2B5+=+225 Subtract 5 from both sides.
5x+=+220 Finally, divide both sides by 5.
x+=+44
