How do u solve this: 1· √ (x+2) + 3 = 6
Can you possibly post a screenshot, please?
sure
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @jaquanlowery the answer is 33 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) how?
Simplify each side of the equation. Use Raise 6 to the power of 2 .Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation. x = 33

just know the answer is 33
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @jaquanlowery just know the answer is 33 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) but I have to explain how I got the answer.. its not multiple choice
ok but first of all there is sqrt(x+2) + 3 = 6 ?

To remove the radical on the left side of the equation, square both sides of the equation. √ x + 3 2 = 6 2 Simplify each side of the equation. Tap for fewer steps... Use n √ a x = a x n to rewrite √ x + 3 as ( x + 3 ) 1 2 . ( ( x + 3 ) 1 2 ) 2 = 6 2 Simplify ( ( x + 3 ) 1 2 ) 2 . Tap for fewer steps... Multiply the exponents in ( ( x + 3 ) 1 2 ) 2 . Tap for fewer steps... Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ( a m ) n = a m n . ( x + 3 ) 1 2 ⋅ 2 = 6 2 Cancel the common factor of 2 . Tap for fewer steps... Cancel the common factor. ( x + 3 ) 1 2 ⋅ 2 = 6 2 Rewrite the expression. ( x + 3 ) 1 = 6 2 Simplify. x + 3 = 6 2 Raise 6 to the power of 2 . x + 3 = 36 Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation. Tap for fewer steps... Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation. x = 36 − 3 Subtract 3 from 36 .
ok than what is the first step ?
idk, I dont remember what to do. Do I do PEMDAS??
yes you can
sqrt(x+2) +3 = 6 the first step subtract 3 from both sides
ok so we are left with sqrt(x+2) = 3??
@jaquanlowery, please don't plagiarize from outside sources other than your own knowledge.
yes and now how you elimine the square root ? what is the way ,do you know it ?
hmmm division? im not sure..
what you wan divide by what ?
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @jhonyy9 what you wan divide by what ? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) idk :(
look pls one example (sqrt x )^2 = x
divide 2 by 2, im confused sorry
to eliminate squar root so just square take on power of 2 - yes ?
ohhhh- I think I kinda get it now
ok continue pls
there is sqrt(x+2) = 3 square both sides what you get ?
u get x+2 = 3
why just 3 ? both sides are squared not just the left
ohhh
x+2 = sqrt3, im not sure.. im trying to understand this.. sorry if im wrong
no to eliminate squar root you need take it on power of 2 but both sides yes ? so we get [sqrt(x+2) ]^2 = 3^2 and now what will get ?
9
the 9 in the right side
ok so x+4 = 9
why x+4 ?
2 raised to the power of 2 is 4, right?
yes but there not 2 was squared was squared the squarroot
oh
so the power of 2 eliminate the squarroot
the x+2 remain not modified
ah ok.. so its x+2 = 9
then x =7
perfect
omg tysm
yw anytime
ok :)
