Question

Solve the equation the square root of the quantity $x$ plus $4$ minus $3$ equals $1$ for the variable. Show each step of your solution process.

Answer 1

To determine the value of the quantity:

According to the given statement:

$\sqrt{x}+4-3=1$

Now, solving all the numerical terms:

$\sqrt{x}+1=1$

Taking the numerical terms from the left-hand side to the right-hand side:

$\sqrt{x}=1-1$

After solving the terms:

$\sqrt{x}=0$

Squaring both sides the obtained equation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}{\left(\sqrt{x}\right)}^2& =& 0^2\\ x& =& 0\end{array}$

Therefore, the value of the quantity is $x=0$.
