Answer:

C.) Square both sides twice and then solve the resulting linear equation.

Explanation:

We are given a equation:


√(3x+4)=√(3x)+4

On squaring both sides, we get


3x+4=3x+16+8√(3x)

=
8√(3x)=-12

again on squaring, we get


64* 3x=144

⇒ x=3\4

Hence, solving this equation required Squaring both sides twice and then solving the linear equation

Hence, Correct option is:

C.) Square both sides twice and then solve the resulting linear equation.
