The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \sqrt{9 + 2x} - \sqrt{2x} = \frac{5}{\sqrt{9 + 2x}} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Cross-multiply First, we will cross-multiply to eliminate the fraction. This gives us: \[ \left( \sqrt{9 + 2x} - \sqrt{2x} \right) \cdot \sqrt{9 + 2x} = 5 \] ### Step 2: Expand the left-hand side Expanding the left-hand side, we have: \[ (\sqrt{9 + 2x})^2 - \sqrt{2x} \cdot \sqrt{9 + 2x} = 5 \] This simplifies to: \[ 9 + 2x - \sqrt{2x(9 + 2x)} = 5 \] ### Step 3: Rearrange the equation Now, we will rearrange the equation to isolate the square root: \[ 9 + 2x - 5 = \sqrt{2x(9 + 2x)} \] This simplifies to: \[ 4 + 2x = \sqrt{2x(9 + 2x)} \] ### Step 4: Square both sides Next, we square both sides to eliminate the square root: \[ (4 + 2x)^2 = 2x(9 + 2x) \] ### Step 5: Expand both sides Expanding both sides gives us: \[ 16 + 16x + 4x^2 = 18x + 4x^2 \] ### Step 6: Simplify the equation Now, we can simplify the equation by subtracting \(4x^2\) from both sides: \[ 16 + 16x = 18x \] Rearranging gives: \[ 16 = 18x - 16x \] This simplifies to: \[ 16 = 2x \] ### Step 7: Solve for \(x\) Dividing both sides by 2, we find: \[ x = 8 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the solution to the equation is: \[ \boxed{8} \]
