first add four to each side

smurfy14 · Answer

sqrt5x+6=6
then square each side to get rid of sqrt
5x+6=36 then subtract 6
5x=30 then divide by 5
and you get x=6

sqrt5x+6=6
sqrt5x=0

Oh that was more simple than I was making it.

I think I confused everyone with the way I typed it. It's more like √(5X+6) -4 =2 The root goes around 5X+6
