(x+16)^1/2=x-(x+17)^1/2

Given the equation

take the square of both sides then move the square root term to one side to get

Now take the square of both sides again to get

Use a calculator to find 4 solutions,

Plugging each of these back into the original equation, you would find that the first 3 solutions are extraneous, so the only solution is

45

step-by-step explanation:

to find a percentage, add a decimal in front and multiply it by the other number.

.25 times 180= 45

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

hope this !
