Answer 1

F, D and C

Answer 2

Answer: The steps are F, D and C

Explanation:

She wanted to solve Square root of 6x plus 4 equal to 8. This means

√(6x + 4 = 8

The left hand side of the equation is

√(6x + 4 while he right hand side of the equation is 8.

The correct steps to follow in solving the equation are as follows:

1) step F

Square both sides (the lefthand side and right hand side of the equation). It becomes

6x + 4 = 8^2

6x + 4 = 64

2) step D

Subtract 4 from both sides. (Subtracting 4 from the left hand side and right hand side of the equation)

It becomes

6x + 4 - 4 = 64 - 4

6x = 60

3) step C

Divide by 6 from both sides. (Dividing the lefthand side and right hand side of the equation by 6). It becomes

6x / 6 = 60 / 6

x = 10
