Question

4√3t+4=-6

Answer 1

ups the problem is √3t+4=-6

Answer 2

you want to isolate t so its alone on one side
any idea where to start?

Answer 3

this is what i have done so far (↓13t+4)^2=(-6)^2

Answer 4

3t+4=36
3t=32

Answer 5

wait is your problem
\[\sqrt{3t+4}=-6\]
or
\[\sqrt{3t}+4=-6\]
??

Answer 6

first one

Answer 7

oh ok
once you get 3t=32
why not divide both sides by 3?

Answer 8

its ok for t to equal a fraction or a decimal

Answer 9

i did and i got a fraction but my book says it should be no real solution

Answer 10

what you did is completely fine and i see nothing wrong with it

maybe your book is wrong or maybe i missed something

Answer 11

maybe i don't know but the problem is just like the first one you posted

Answer 12

@lgbasallote @jim_thompson5910 @Hero
did i miss something or is her book wrong?

Answer 13

The square root of any positive number or zero will be positive or zero. There is no possible way to take the square root of a number and get a negative number.

Answer 14

So \[\sqrt{3t+4}=-6\] has no solutions

Answer 15

oh i see thank you so much!!! :)

Answer 16
