ANSWER

x = 65

Step-by-step explanation

To solve this equation, first, we have to subtract 3 from both sides,


\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{x-1}+3-3=11-3 \\ \sqrt[]{x-1}=8 \end{gathered}

Next, square both sides of the equation,


\begin{gathered} (\sqrt[]{x-1})^2=8^2 \\ x-1=64 \end{gathered}

And finally, add 1 to both sides,


\begin{gathered} x-1+1=64+1 \\ x=65 \end{gathered}

Hence, x = 65.
