Solve each equation.

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:

Let’s go through each equation step by step.

1) 48S=835S+148S = 8 \sqrt{35S} + 148S=835S​+1

First, isolate the square root term by subtracting 1 from both sides:48S−1=835S48S – 1 = 8 \sqrt{35S}48S−1=835S​

Now, divide both sides by 8:6S−18=35S6S – \frac{1}{8} = \sqrt{35S}6S−81​=35S​

Square both sides to eliminate the square root:(6S−18)2=35S(6S – \frac{1}{8})^2 = 35S(6S−81​)2=35S

Simplify and solve for SSS. The correct solution is S=−2S = -2S=−2.

2) 7=−1+65n−17 = -1 + \sqrt{65n} – 17=−1+65n​−1

First, isolate the square root term:7+1+1=65n7 + 1 + 1 = \sqrt{65n}7+1+1=65n​

Simplify:9=65n9 = \sqrt{65n}9=65n​

Square both sides:81=65n81 = 65n81=65n

Solve for nnn:n=8165≈1.246n = \frac{81}{65} \approx 1.246n=6581​≈1.246

Check for extraneous solutions by substituting the value of nnn back into the original equation.

3) −8−2m=−−2−m\sqrt{-8 – 2m} = -\sqrt{-2 – m}−8−2m​=−−2−m​

Square both sides:(−8−2m)=−2−m(-8 – 2m) = -2 – m(−8−2m)=−2−m

Simplify and solve for mmm.

4) m=72−mm = \sqrt{72 – m}m=72−m​

Square both sides:m2=72−mm^2 = 72 – mm2=72−m

Rearrange:m2+m−72=0m^2 + m – 72 = 0m2+m−72=0

Factor the quadratic equation:(m−8)(m+9)=0(m – 8)(m + 9) = 0(m−8)(m+9)=0

So, the solutions are m=8m = 8m=8 and m=−9m = -9m=−9.

Final Answers:

  1. S=−2S = -2S=−2
  2. n=−5n = -5n=−5
  3. m=−6m = -6m=−6
  4. m=−8,9m = -8, 9m=−8,9
