Answer :

Option D: [tex]x=-2[/tex] or [tex]x=-3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation [tex]\sqrt{10-13x} =x-4[/tex]

To remove the square root, let us square on both sides of the equation, we get,

[tex](\sqrt{10-13x})^{2} =(x-4)^{2}[/tex]

Square root gets cancelled and expanding the term [tex](x-4)^{2}[/tex] , we get,

[tex]10-13x=x^{2} -8x+16[/tex]

Adding 13x to both sides,

[tex]10=x^{2} +5x+16[/tex]

Subtracting 10 from both sides, we get,

[tex]0=x^{2} +5x+6[/tex]

Solving this equation, we get,

[tex]0=(x+2)(x+3)[/tex]

Thus, [tex]x=-2[/tex] or [tex]x=-3[/tex]

Hence, the correct option is D.

A. [tex]x=2[/tex] or [tex]x=3[/tex]

Solving the equation results in [tex]x=-2[/tex] or [tex]x=-3[/tex]

Thus, [tex]x=2[/tex] or [tex]x=3[/tex] cannot be a solution to the equation [tex]\sqrt{10-13x} =x-4[/tex]

Thus, Option A is not a correct answer.

B. [tex]x=-6[/tex] or [tex]x=1[/tex]

Solving the equation results in [tex]x=-2[/tex] or [tex]x=-3[/tex]

Thus, [tex]x=-6[/tex] or [tex]x=1[/tex] cannot be a solution to the equation [tex]\sqrt{10-13x} =x-4[/tex]

Thus, Option B is not a correct answer.

C. No Solution

Solving the equation results in [tex]x=-2[/tex] or [tex]x=-3[/tex]

Hence, there exits a solution to the equation [tex]\sqrt{10-13x} =x-4[/tex]

Thus, Option C is not a correct answer.
