PLEASE HELP!! I got about half way through the problem but I ddont know hiw to solve the rest :\

solve the radical equation.

The answer is x = 1

Hope this helps! :)

(sqrt) x + 3 = x + 1

x + 3 = x^2 + 2x + 1

x + 3 - x^2 - 2x - 1 = 0

-x + 2 - x^2 = 0

x^2 + x - 2 = 0

(x - 1) (x + 2) = 0

x = 1, -2

^^no negatives/canceled

x = 1

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c
