4x - 5 = 36

4x = 36 +  5

4x = 41 

x = 41 /4.

Hence the value of x =41 / 4 .

(c)

√(6x+7) = √ (7x+7) + 6

Square on both sides.

(√(6x+7))² = (√(7x+7) + 6)²

6x + 7 = 7x + 7 + 36 +12√(7x+7)

7x - 6x + 36 =  - 12√(7x+7)

x + 36 = -12√(7x+7)

Square on both sides.

(x + 36)² = 144(7x + 7)

x² + 1296 + 72x = 1008x + 1008

x² - 936x + 288 = 0

Therefore the values of x are 468 ± 84√31.
