Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution isy=5,6.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information   

We are given the quadratic equation y-5+5=yand we need to solve it.

02

Step 2. Finding the solution   

Isolating the radical on one side of the equation:

y-5+5=y⇒y-5+5-5=y-5⇒y-5=y-5

Squaring both sides of the equation, we get:

localid="1647942171594" y-52=y-52⇒y-5=y2-10y+25⇒y2-10y+25-y+5=0⇒y2-11y+30=0⇒y2-5y-6y+30=0⇒yy-5-6y-5=0⇒y-5y-6=0

Using the zero product property, we get:

y-5=0⇒y=5y-6=0⇒y=6

03

Step 3. Checking the answer  

y=5,y-5+5=y⇒5-5+5=5⇒0+5=5⇒5=5y=6,y-5+5=y⇒6-5+5=6⇒1+5=6⇒1+5=6⇒6=6
