<PRE><B>Question 945026</B>
square root ofx+10 = x+4
sqrt(x+10) = x+4
------
Square both side sides to get::
x+10 = x^2 + 8x + 16
--------
x^2 + 7x + 6 = 0
-------
Factor::
(x+6)(x+1) = 0
-----
x = -1 or x = -6
-----
Checking::
sqrt(x+10) = x+4
Check x = -1::
sqrt(9) = -1+4
3 = 3
=================
Check x = -6
sqrt(4) = -2
False
----------------
Ans:: x = -1
--------------------------
