Answer:


x = 9\ or\ x = 1

Explanation:

Given


x = 5 + √(16)

Required

Find the value of x


x = 5 + √(16)

We start by taking the square root of 16; Square root of 16 is +4 or -4; So, we have:-


x = 5 \±4

The expression above can be split into two; This is as follows


x = 5 + 4\ or\ x = 5 - 4


x = 9\ or\ x = 1

Hence, the solution to
x = 5 + √(16) is B. 1 and C. 9
