Question; Solve: x + \sqrt{x^2 - 20} = 10
Solution:
Given,
x + \sqrt{x^2 - 20} = 10
or, \sqrt{x^2 - 20} = 10-x
[Squaring both sides]
or, ( \sqrt{x^2 - 20})^2 = (10-x)^2
or, x^2 -20 = 10^2 - 2×10×x + x^2
or, x^2 - x^2 -20 = 100 - 20x
or, -20 = 100 - 20x
or, 20x = 100+20
or, x = \dfrac{120}{20}
\therefore x = 6
= Answer
