First, we'll impose the condition of existence of the
square root.
m +59
>=0
m >= -59
The
interval of admissible values of m are [-59 ;
+infinite)
Now, we'll solve the
equation:
-3 + sqrt(m+59) =
m
sqrt(m+59) = m + 3
We'll
raise to square both sides:
m + 59 =
(m+3)^2
m + 59 = m^2 + 6m +
9
We'll move all terms to the right side and we'll use the
symmetric property:
m^2 + 6m + 9 - m - 59 =
0
We'll combine like
terms:
m^2 + 5m - 50 = 0
We'll
apply the quadratic formula:
m1 = [-5+sqrt(25 +
200)]/2
m1 =
(-5+15)/2
m1 =
5
m2 =
(-5-15)/2
m2 =
-10
Since both values are in the interval of
admissible values, they are accepted.
