Solve for x:

x square root of 3-2=5x square root of 3?

3 answers

Is the equation
x√3-2=5x√3
or
x(√3-2)=5x√3
or
x√(3-2)=5x√3 ?
The last option is unlikely.
It is the first equation. I did not know how to put the square root sign on the computer.
The square root sign can be made by typing:
& r a d i c ;
without the intervening spaces.

x√3-2=5x√3
regroup terms
5x√3-x√3 = -2
4x√3 = -2
x=-(2/4)/√3
Multiply numerator and denominator by √3 to rationalize the denominator
x=-√3/6
