Answer:

x=121

Explanation:

1. Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

square rootx = 6+5

2. Add the numbers

square rootx= 11

3. Square both sides of the equation

x=121

Check if the given value is the solution of the equation

square root 121 -5 =6

Simplify the expression

6=6

The equality is true, therefore x=121 is a solution of the equation
