Question

Help!
Solve √7 -3x = 1
every time I do this I get a different answer :(

Answer 1

transfer sqrt(7) to the other side
multiply both sides by (-1)
solve for x

Answer 2

I should clarify
the 7-3x is all under the root

Answer 3

oh sorry. My connection got lost. and I didnt know.
so...
sqrt(7-3x) = 1

square both sides:
(sqrt(7-3x))^2 = 1^2 <-- like so
7-3x = 1
-3x = 1-7
-3x = -6
3x = 6
x = 2
