Question

Solve equation for x, √4x+1-6=4

Answer 1

where does the root end?

Answer 2

On the one

Answer 3

So is it \(\sqrt{4x+1-6}=4\)?

Answer 4

Yes!

Answer 5

OH, so So \(\sqrt{4x+1}-6=4\)?

Answer 6

First or second one?

Answer 7

Second :)

Answer 8

OK. What do you think we do first?

Answer 9

The 4x+1?

Answer 10

Nope, the - 6

We do the opposite by adding 6 on both sides of the equation

\(\sqrt{4x+1}-6+6 =4+6\)
\(\sqrt{4x+1} =10\)

Answer 11

Now we have to square both sides of the equation, remember? =)

Answer 12

Okay

Answer 13

\(4x+1=10^2\)

Answer 15

Okay, thank you!

Answer 16

She's a really helpful user =3 No problem!

Answer 17

awww thanks sammi :) Ok, so you 2 left off at 4x + 1 = \(10^2\)

Answer 18

So what is 10^2?

Answer 19

100?

Answer 20

Yes! So after that we get 4x + 1 = 100. How do we get 1 to the right side?

Answer 21

Would my answer be 99/4?

Answer 22

Yes!
