Answer:


x=1

Explanation:

We have been given an equation
√(x+3)+4=6. We are asked to find the solution of our given equation.


√(x+3)+4-4=6-4


√(x+3)=2

Now, we will square both sides of our given equation.


x+3=2^2


x+3=4


x+3-3=4-3


x=1

To see whether
x=1 is an extraneous solution or not, we will substitute
x=1 in our given equation as:


√(1+3)+4=6


√(4)+4=6


2+4=6


6=6

Since both sides of our given equation are equal, therefore,
x=1 is a solution for our given equation.
