Question

Does anyone know how to figure out this problem sqrt 3 (x+6=-12), and if it is an extraneous solution?

Answer 1

can you post the problem clearly ?

is it
\(\sqrt{3(x+6)} = -12\)
?

Answer 2

if so, can the answer to a square root be ever negative ?

Answer 3

the 3 is outside the square root

Answer 4

and yes it can be negative

Answer 5

3 is outside ?

so
\(3 \sqrt {x+6} =-12\)
??
