I assume the left side is all under the square root. You should use parentheses to clarify this:
√(110 - n) = n
Square both sides:
110 - n = n²
Get everything on one side:
n² + n - 110 = 0
Factor:
(n + 11)(n - 10) = 0
Possible solutions:
n = -11
n = 10
But we need to check for extraneous solutions and eliminate them. Since the √ symbol asks for the *principal* (non-negative) square root, we need n to be positive. That would eliminate -11 as an answer.
Double-check:
√(110 - (-11)) =? -11
√121 =? -11
11 = -11 (extraneous solution, eliminate -11)
√(110 - 10) =? 10
√100 =? 10
10 = 10 (correct)
Answer:
n = 10
