Question

Solve for x. Use info from the image to support your answer.

Answer 1

Check the picture below.

`(√(3))^2=(x+2)(x)\implies 3=x^2+2x \\\\\\ 0=x^2+2x-3\implies 0=(x-1)(x+3)\implies x= \begin{cases} ~~ ~1 ~~ \checkmark\\\\ -3 ~~ \bigotimes \end{cases}`

notice, the negative value doesn't apply in this case.
