Answer:
x ≈ 1.5004
Step-by-step explanation:
We suppose your equation is ...
Squaring both sides and subtracting the right side gives ...
This 6th-degree equation has two positive real roots, near x=1.5, and x=2. The root at x=2 is extraneous. The one near x=1.5 is irrational.
First simplify the square roots.
√25 is 5 and √16 is 4
so the equation is 3x5 + 4x4
15+16
31
That is mathematically impossible but maybe the other way around is possible. If you did 8765 divided by 5 you would get 1753. I hope this is what you want :)
