@Marv93w

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we need to get x by itself what is the first thing step we can do in making x a loner?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 4 from each side..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well both 4s so... subtract 8 from each side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but that second 4 is under the sqrt sign so we can't yet just move that first 4. the next step is to get the sqrt sign the fsk out of there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. So it looks like: \[\sqrt{6x+4} =12\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well you added 4 on the right side and took away 4 on the left. remember an equation means that pellet here = pellet here. So what you do to one side you do to the other. so nope not correct. But close

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry that was me being a dork xD let me redo that: \[\sqrt{6x+4} =4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeeee! ok so now i want to get rid of the sqrt sign... how do i do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Square it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Marv93w What do I do from here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm at, \[\sqrt{6x+4} =4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you square both side so you can take out the radical sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sooo.... 6x^2+16=16?
