To solve for \( u \) in the equation \( \sqrt{u+56} = \sqrt{u} + 4 \), we start by squaring both sides to eliminate the square roots: \[ u + 56 = (\sqrt{u} + 4)^2 \] Expanding the right side, we get: \[ u + 56 = u + 8\sqrt{u} + 16 \] Next, we simplify the equation: \[ u + 56 = u + 8\sqrt{u} + 16 \] Subtracting \( u \) from both sides: \[ 56 = 8\sqrt{u} + 16 \] Now, we isolate the term with the square root: \[ 56 - 16 = 8\sqrt{u} \] \[ 40 = 8\sqrt{u} \] Dividing both sides by 8 gives: \[ 5 = \sqrt{u} \] Now we square both sides again to solve for \( u \): \[ u = 5^2 = 25 \] Next, we can check our solution by substituting \( u = 25 \) back into the original equation: Left side: \[ \sqrt{25 + 56} = \sqrt{81} = 9 \] Right side: \[ \sqrt{25} + 4 = 5 + 4 = 9 \] Since both sides are equal, the solution is verified. Therefore, the solution to the equation is: \[ \boxed{25} \]
