Solve the equation. Check both solutions and only write the real solution.

Question

the square root of 6m minus 5 = m
	A.	{1}
	B.	{5}
	C.	{1, 5}
	D.	no real solution

I think its B

Reiny · Answer

√(6m) - 5 = m
√(6m) = m+5
square both sides
6m = m^2 + 10m + 25
m^2 + 4m + 25 = 0
m = (-4 ± √-84)/2

no real solution

if you think it is B), why not check it

LS = √30 - 5
RS = 5

mmmhhh

However, if you meant:
√(6m-5) = 5
then 6m-5 = 25
6m = 30
m = 5

See what happens if you don't use brackets to avoid ambiguity?

U tried bt itz wrong . .ansa iz a . . 6m - 5 =m . Colect lyk terms . 6m -m =5 . 5m =5 . Then m =1 .
