Question

Solve for m. m/2 - squareroot 5 = 3

Answer 1

We can start by isolating the variable term on one side of the equation and moving all other terms to the other side.

First, we'll add the square root of 5 to both sides of the equation:

m/2 - sqrt(5) + sqrt(5) = 3 + sqrt(5)

Simplifying:

m/2 = 3 + sqrt(5)

Next, we'll multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

m = 2(3 + sqrt(5))

Simplifying:

m = 6 + 2sqrt(5)

Therefore, the value of m is 6 + 2sqrt(5).
