Answer 3

first add 3 to both sides of the equation
then square both sides

Answer 4

then its easy

Answer 5

Ok so \[\sqrt{x+4+3}-3=1+3\]

So \[\sqrt{x+4}=4\]

Answer 6

And the \[\sqrt{x^2+16}=16\]

Answer 7

Answer 8

No when you 'square the square root' of something the answer is that something.
for example sqrt 4 squared = 4

Answer 9

So take away the square root thing?

Answer 10

So just x+4 = 4

Answer 11

yea - so what do you get after

sqrt(x + 4) = 4

Answer 12

no not x + 4 = 4

- BOTH SIDES of the equation must be squared

Answer 13

I'm not following, what would the left side be?

Answer 14

the keft side is x + 4 - that is correct but the right side must also be squared - the 4

Answer 15

So the right side is 16?

Answer 16

yes

Answer 17

x + 4 = 16

Answer 18

x + 4 = 16

Answer 19

Ah because it wasn't under the square root sign.

Answer 20

gotta go
I think you got it now

Answer 21

yea
