\[\sqrt{2x + 4}-\sqrt{x}=2\] Take it step by step. What's the opposite of square rooting something?

@massiel928

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you just guessing or do you really know how it's A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2x + 4 - x = 16\] That's after removing the square roots.

hartnn (hartnn):

^ not actually \((a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh yeah, hartnn is right. derp.

hartnn (hartnn):

A simpler way to do is to test all the choices plug in x= 0 see if left side = right side if it equals, x=0 is one solution. repeat for x=16, -16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah do what hartnn said, much faster.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i worked it out and got A thank you both

hartnn (hartnn):

then good work! :)
