To solve the equation x-√x+1=5, we need to isolate the term with the square root.
Let's start by moving the term x to the right side of the equation:
√x+1 = x-5
Now, let's square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root:
(√x+1)^2 = (x-5)^2
Expanding both sides:
x + 1 + 2√x + √x^2 = x^2 - 10x + 25
Simplifying:
√x^2 + 3√x - 10x + 2√x + 26 = x^2 - 10x + 25
Combining like terms:
x^2 + 3√x + 2√x - 10x + 10x - x^2 + 26 - 25 = 0
Simplifying further:
5√x + 1 = 0
Now, isolate the term with √x:
5√x = -1
Divide both sides by 5:
√x = -1/5
To solve for x, square both sides:
x = (-1/5)^2
x = 1/25
Therefore, the solution to the equation x-√x+1=5 is x = 1/25.
