Final answer:

The equation √x + 6 = 2 has no solution because the square root of a number cannot be negative.


Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution to the equation √x + 6 = 2, we need to isolate the square root variable (√x). First, we subtract 6 from both sides of the equation to get √x alone on the left side: √x = 2 - 6 = -4. However, the square root of a number cannot be negative, so there is no solution to this equation. Therefore, the correct answer is (D) no solution.
