√x+6= √16x

Solve √16x

√x+6=4x

Step 1: Square both sides.

(√x)2+12√x+36=(√16x)2

x+12√x+36=16x

12√x+x+36=16x

Step 2: Add -x to both sides.

12√x+x+36+−x=16x+−x

12√x+36=15x

Step 3: Add -36 to both sides.

12√x+36+−36=15x+−36

12√x=15x−36

Step 4: Divide both sides by 12.

Step 5: Solve Square Root.

√x=5/4x -3

x=(5/4x−3)2(Square both sides)

Solve

x=4
