Answer 1

The correct statement that describes the solution set of the radical equation \( 15 - \sqrt{x} + x = 3 \) based on the solutions \( x = -1 \) or \( x = 6 \) is:

x = -1 or x = 6

This option correctly represents the solutions that Kris found.

If you refer to the answers provided, it seems that there’s more than one way to express this option. The specific response you would want to choose is:

x=−1 or x=6
x equals negative 1 or x equals 6

This clearly states the correct solutions to the radical equation.
