Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Solve the equation:
\$\sqrt(2L + 5) = \sqrt(L + 7)\$.

2

Step

Given equation:

\$\sqrt(2L + 5) = \sqrt(L + 7)\$

3

Hint

Square both sides to eliminate the square roots:

\$(\sqrt(2L + 5))^2 = (\sqrt(L + 7))^2\$

2L + 5 = L + 7

4

Step

Subtract L from both sides:

2L + 5 - L = L + 7 - L

L + 5 = 7

L = 2

5

Step

Verify the solution by substituting L=2 back into the original equation:

\$\sqrt((2 \times 2) + 5) = \sqrt(2 + 7)\$

6

Step

Simplifies to:

\$\sqrt(4 + 5) = \sqrt(9)\$

\$\sqrt(9) = \sqrt(9)\$

3 = 3

7

Step

Since both sides of the equation are equal, the solution L=2 is correct.

8

Choice.A

This option value does not make both sides of the equation equal

L = 3

9

Choice.B

This option correctly satisfies the equation when substituted back

L = 2

10

Choice.C

Substituting this option into the equation results in unequal sides

L = 1

11

Choice.D

This value fails to solve the equation correctly

L = -3

Answer

Option

B
