Answer:

no solution

Explanation:

You want the solution to the radical equation √(2x+6) = -8.

Analysis

The radical symbol is used to signify the positive square root. Whatever non-negative value (2x+6) may have, the left side expression returns a positive value for the root. It can never be equal to -8.

There is no solution to the given equation.
