@Vocaloid @Hero

Hero:

Let's go over the 1st one: \(\sqrt{x + 3} + 6 = 9\) First subtract 6 from both sides. Let me know what you get afterwards. Please post your steps here.

katherine:

6+3=9

katherine:

6+9=15

katherine:

like that?

Hero:

@Catherine, we're SUBTRACTING. And btw, you can use that equation button below the chat to write your equivalent equations.

katherine:

omg. sorry

katherine:

6-3=3 9-6=3

Hero:

@Katherine, like this: \(\sqrt{x + 3} + 6 - 6 = 9 - 6\)

katherine:

it gave me 72

Hero:

I don't know how you get 72 from that. All we're doing is 6 - 6 = ? and 9 - 6 = ?

katherine:

yaaa that's what i did earlier

Hero:

I'm showing you how to subtract 6 from both sides. Let me write it out for you: |dw:1526335841604:dw| When you were doing it you kept getting numbers like "15" but then you were doing some unnecessary calculations as well. At no point is there ever a computation such as "6 - 3 = 3"

Hero:

Next we have to square both sides. Are you aware of how to do that?

katherine:

square both sides.. hm ok

katherine:

i'm sorry, i've been on this question for 4 hrs now. and I'm all confused lol

katherine:

let me try it out

katherine:

when u say square both sides, which numbers do I add?

Hero:

|dw:1526336363752:dw| "Squaring" does not imply addition. You might want to try reviewing the tutorials for the instruction related to this problem. \(\left(\sqrt{x + 3}\right)^2 = 3^3\)

Hero:

\(\left(\sqrt{x + 3}\right)^2 = 3^2\)

katherine:

it gave me 6

katherine:

so, D?
