Question

What is the solution to the equation sqrt2x + 8 − 6 = 4

Answer 1

move all numbers on one side - so subtract 2 from each side

Answer 2

square both sides in order to remove the sqrt sign

now solve for x

Answer 3

\[\eqalign{
&\sqrt{2x}+8-6=4 \\
&\sqrt{2x}+2=4 \\
&\sqrt{2x}=4-2 \\
&\sqrt{2x}=2 \\
&\sqrt{2x}^2=2^2 \\
&2x=4 \\
&x=4/2=2
}\]

Answer 4

i think X= 2

Answer 5

That is why its good to not just give answers - we should be explaining not providing answers
