Question
Solve the equation
\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+15}+2\sqrt{x^2+15x} = 15-2x
Solve the equation
\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+15}+2\sqrt{x^2+15x} = 15-2x
\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+15}+2\sqrt{x^2+15x} = 15-2x
Rearrange the tems
\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+15}+2\sqrt{x^2+15x} +2x+15 -30 = 0
x+2\sqrt{x^2+15x} +x+15+\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+15}-30=0
Let
The equation (1) is transformed to
m^2+m-30=0
(m+6)(m-5)=0
Then we get
m = -6 or m + 5
Cancel the negative solution, we get
\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+15} = 5
\sqrt{x+15} = 5-\sqrt{x}
Square both sides
x+15 = 25+x-10\sqrt{x}
-10 = -10\sqrt{x}
x=1
