Answer:
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!
