\[X:\sqrt{3x} +9 =-6\]
1) subtract 9 from both sides 2) square both sides 3) divide both sides by 3
okay hold on I will try it
let me know if/where you get stuck
ok
I dont think there is a solution
hm... could you show your steps? what do you have after the first step?
thanks hold on im really bad at math great at english lol
i got 9
for the final answer? no, that's not right I don't think just subtract 9 from both sides first what's left?
3
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
