Question 188195
{{{sqrt(y+1)-5=8}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{sqrt(y+1)=8+5}}} Add 5 to both sides.



{{{ sqrt(y+1) =13}}} Combine like terms.



{{{y+1=13^2}}} Square both sides



{{{y+1=169}}} Square 13 to get 169



{{{y=169-1}}} Subtract 1 from both sides.



{{{y=168}}} Combine like terms.




=====================================================


Answer:


So the solution is {{{y=168}}}
