Question

solve for y, where y is a real number
√y-8 = 6

Answer 1

square both sides
y-8=36
y=44

Answer 2

No that is wrong

Answer 3

You need to isolate the irrational first then square both sides.

Answer 4

isolate the irrational ?!?!

Answer 5

so 44 then?

Answer 6

lol

Answer 7

sq root (y) - 8 = 6. Add 8 to both sides to isolate the irrational. You have sq root (y) = 14. Now square both sides you get y = 144. Which is correct.
