Sqrt(x+22)=(x+10) ---> x+22=(x+10)^2 (x+10)^2 --> X^2 +10x+10x+100 (x^2 +20x+100) 0=x^2 +19x +78 0=(x+6)(x+13) x + 6 = 0 X+13 = 0 x = -6 X = -13 Check to see if it works -13 dosnt here 4(3^Sqrt(9x-46) = -16 (3^Sqrt(9x-46) = -4 9x-46 = (-4)^3 9x-46=-64 9x=18 x=2 Check 2 does work here 2(x-1)^1/5 = (6x-19)^1/5 (2(5Sqrt(x-1)))^5 =(5Sqrt(6x-19))^5 (2)^5 (x-1) = 6x-19 32(x-1) = 6x-19 32x - 32 = 6x -19 26x=13 x= 1/2 Check if works it does
