Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation: You can set up the equation:
\sqrt{(n)/(3) } =
√(n-4) You square both sides to cancel out the squares which leaves you with
(n)/(3) = n - 4. Then you just solve as normal which ends you up with an answer of 6. You can check this by plugging 6 back into the equation and see that you end up with
√(2) on both sides.
