Answer 3

uhhhh
x = 16

Answer 4

\[\sqrt{x} = 4\]

Okay, so you have to get x alone. We have to get rid of the radical.

How do we get rid of the radical, you might say? Well, I'm glad you asked.

To get rid of a square root, we simply square both sides of the equation:

\[(\sqrt{x})^{2} = 4^{2}\]

The square and square root cancel out, leaving you with plain x on the left and 4 squared on the right (which is 16):

x = 16

Hope that helps! :)
