Answer:

x = 0.25

Explanation:


9√(x) =5-2x


81x = 25 - 20x + 4x^(2)


0=4x^(2) -101x+25


0 = 4x^(2) -1x-100x+25


0=x(4x-1)-25(4x-1)\\0=(x-25)(4x-1)


x=25,(1)/(4)


2*25+9√(25) =5\\50+9*5=5\\50+45=5\\95=5


2*(1)/(4)+9\sqrt{(1)/(4) } =5 \\0.5+9*(1)/(2) =5\\0.5+4.5=5\\5=5

Answer:


x=(1)/(4)

Explanation:

Given equation:


2x+9√(x)=5

Subtract 2x from both sides to isolate the square root:


\implies 2x+9√(x)-2x=5-2x


\implies 9√(x)=5-2x

Square both sides to eliminate the square root:


\implies (9√(x))^2=(5-2x)^2


\implies 81x=(5-2x)(5-2x)


\implies 81x=25-20x+4x^2

Subtract 81x from both sides:


\implies 81x-81x=25-20x+4x^2-81x


\implies 0=25-101x+4x^2


\implies4x^2-101x+25=0

To factor a quadratic in the form
ax^2+bx+c, find two numbers that multiply to
ac and sum to
b:


\implies ac=4 \cdot 25=100


\implies b=-101

Therefore, the two numbers are -1 and -100 as:


\implies -1 \cdot -100=100=a


\implies -1+(-100)=-101 =b

Rewrite
b as the sum of these two numbers:


\implies4x^2-x-100x+25=0

Factor the first two terms and the last two terms separately:


\implies x(4x-1)-25(4x-1)=0

Factor out the common term (4x - 1):


\implies (x-25)(4x-1)=0

Apply the zero-product property:


(x-25)=0 \implies x=25


(4x-1)=0 \implies x=(1)/(4)

Input each solution into the original equation to check its validity:


\begin{aligned}x=25 \implies 2(25)+9√(25)&=5\\50+9(5)&=5\\50+45&=5\\95 & \\eq 5\end{aligned}

Therefore, x = 25 is not a valid solution.


\begin{aligned}x=(1)/(4)\implies 2\left((1)/(4)\right)+9\sqrt{(1)/(4)}&=5\\(1)/(2)+9((1)/(2))&=5\\(1)/(2)+(9)/(2)&=5\\(10)/(2)&=5\\5 & = 5\end{aligned}

Therefore x = ¹/₄ is a valid solution.

Therefore, the only valid solution to the equation is x = ¹/₄.
