Question 781758

Interpretation:
The question is saying that the square root of x is one less than the square root of x+23
set up equation using logic:
{{{sqrt(x)+1 = sqrt(x+23)}}}
Simplify:
Square both sides
{{{x+2sqrt(x)+1=x+23}}}
Minus 1 from both sides
{{{x+2sqrt(x)=x+22}}}
minus x from both sides
{{{2sqrt(x)=22}}}
Devide both sides by two
{{{sqrt(x)=11}}}
Square both sides
{{{x=121}}}
