1) subtract 9 from both sides
2) square both sides
3) divide both sides by 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did x go?\[\sqrt{3x}+9=-6\]subtracting 9 from both sides gives\[\sqrt{3x}+\cancel9^0-\cancel9^0=-6-9\]\[\sqrt{3x}=-15\]if this is novel to you I think you need to step back to the basics of doing arithmetic on each side of the euation
the next step is to square both sides
remember that\[(\sqrt x)^2=x\]and don't forget tot square \(both\) sides

the choices I have for answers are 9, 1/9, 81, no real solution
