Question 32069: Hello. Here is my question. I know how to solve this problem if it didn't have the second square root in front of the "x" on the left of the equality. I would show you work but all I have been able to do is move the -1 over to the left side (as a +1). After that, I can't do anything else until I get rid of the squareroot in front of the "x". Here is the problem: +sqrt%28x%29=+sqrt%28+x%2B2+%29-1+.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Question 32920: how would you solve the problem:
m^16-25=0
and set it equal to zero... i don't know how to do it with m^16. but a normal one would look like:
16y^2-25=0
(4y-5)(4y+5)=0
4y-5=0 4y+5=0
4y=5 4y=-5
y= 5/4 y= -5/4
but i dont know how to do it with m^16...
i get as far as:
m^16-25=0
(m^8-5) (m^8+5)=0
m^8-5=0 m^8+5=0
m^8= 5 m^8= -5
please do it and show the work...thanks :)
