Remove square roots by taking squares:

10.


√(3x+10)=5-2x


(√(3x+10))^2=(5-2x)^2


3x+10=25-20x+4x^2

Keep in mind that
\sqrt x is defined as long as
x\ge0; in this case, we require
3x+10\ge0, or
x\ge-\frac{10}3.


4x^2-23x+15=0


(4x-3)(x-5)=0


4x-3=0\text{ or }x-5=0


x=\frac34\text{ or }x=5

Both of these solutions are greater than -10/3, so they are both valid.

11.


4x=√(1-6x)

This tells us we need to have
1-6x\ge0, or
x\le\frac16.


(4x)^2=(√(1-6x))^2


16x^2=1-6x


16x^2+6x-1=0


(8x-1)(2x+1)=0


8x-1=0\text{ or }2x+1=0


x=\frac18\text{ or }x=-\frac12

Both of these are valid solutions.
