Question

Solve the equation, and check the solutions (√x+3)+6=3.

Answer 1

The equation has no solution.

Explanation:

Hi there!

First, let´s write the equation:

(√x + 3) + 6 = 3

To solve the equation, let´s subtract 6 to both sides of the equation:

√x + 3 = -3

subtract 3 to both sides of the equation:

√x = -6 (the square root of any number can´t be negative, but let´s solve it anyway and then check the solution).

Square both sides of the equation:

x = 36

Now, let´s check the solution:

(√x + 3) + 6 = 3

x = 36

(√36 + 3) + 6 = 3

(6 + 3) + 6 = 3

9 + 6 = 3

15 ≠ 3

Then, the equation has no solution.

Have a nice day!
