I need HELP please:( 1. Both of the equations shown have the same solution when solved for x. What is the value of k? Show or explain all your work. *
5x + 34 = -2(1 – 7x) and – 3 (4x + 3) +4(6x + 1) = k
Your answer

I got 46 but I’m not good at explaining

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
