Question

@sammixboo can I get some help with a couple more questions? They are just like the one we just did.

Answer 1

-4√x-6=-12 I don't know how to make the long looking square root symbol.

Answer 2

@sammixboo

Answer 3

I'm not sure how I make the long square root symbol

Answer 4

So it is \(-4\sqrt{x-6} = -12\)

Answer 5

Yes!

Answer 6

OK, so any idea on how to start it? Or no

Answer 7

I would think you would have to do something with the -4 first

Answer 8

\[\huge{\color{purple}{\textbf{W}} \color{orange}{\cal{E}} \color{green}{\mathbb{L}} \color{blue}{\mathsf{C}} \color{maroon}{\rm{O}} \color{red}{\tt{M}} \color{gold}{\tt{E}} \space \color{orchid}{\mathbf{T}} \color{Navy}{\mathsf{O}} \space \color{OrangeRed}{\boldsymbol{O}} \color{Olive}{\mathbf{P}} \color{Lime}{\textbf{E}} \color{DarkOrchid}{\mathsf{N}} \color{Tan}{\mathtt{S}} \color{magenta}{\mathbb{T}} \color{goldenrod}{\mathsf{U}} \color{ForestGreen}{\textbf{D}} \color{Salmon}{\mathsf{Y}} \ddot \smile }\]

Answer 9

Yes, you divide both sides of the equation by -4

\(\dfrac{-4\sqrt{x-6}}{-4} = \dfrac{-12}{-4}\)

\(\sqrt{x-6} = \dfrac{-12}{-4}\)

Answer 10

What is -12/-4

Answer 11

3

Answer 12

Right! so

\(\sqrt{x-6} = 3\)

Now do you know what to do?

Answer 13

Yes! Let me solve

Answer 14

OK =)

Answer 15

Would it be 9?

Answer 16

Could you help me with one more, and then I will quit bugging you! I really appreciate the help.

Answer 17

Not quite. Wanna give it another try? Or want me to walk you through it

Answer 18

Oh, I don't mind the bugging! Hahaha. I like doing Square Roots honestly

Answer 19

Could you walk me through it?

Answer 20

Sure!

So we have

\(\sqrt{x-6} = 3\)

We now have to square both sides of the equation, remember? After we do that, we have

\(x-6 = 3^2\)

Answer 21

Now solve the exponent, \(3^2\), what is it?

Answer 22

9

Answer 23

Correct, so \(x-6 = 9\)

Do you know what to do now? =3

Answer 24

Would it be 15?

Answer 25

Right!

Answer 26

Awesome! Thank you so much. Could you help me with one more like that?

Answer 27

If you still need help, make sure to post it on another post

Answer 28

Sure!

Answer 29

So I need to create a new question?

Answer 30

Yuppers!

Answer 31

Okay :)
