Answer:
x =
Explanation:
Given
y =
( square both sides to clear the radical )
y² =
( multiply both sides by (x - 4) )
y²(x - 4) = x + 1 ← distribute parenthesis on left side )
xy² - 4y² = x + 1 ( add 4y² to both sides )
xy² = x + 1 + 4y² ( subtract x from both sides )
xy² - x = 1 + 4y² ( factor out x from each term on the left side )
x(y² - 1) = 1 + 4y² ← divide both sides by (y² - 1)
x =
