Answer:
E
Explanation
=
+ 1
square both sides to clear the radicals
(
)² = (
+ 1)²← expand using FOIL
3 - 2x = 2x + 2
+ 1 ( subtract 2x + 1 from both sides )
- 4x + 2 = 2
( divide through by 2 )
- 2x + 1 =
( square both sides )
(- 2x + 1)² = 2x ← expand left side using FOIL
4x² - 4x + 1 = 2x ( add 4x to both sides )
4x² + 1 = 6x ( subtract 1 from both sides )
4x² = 6x - 1
