Question

Solve to find x

`√(x) -3 +12=24`

Answer 1

x=225

Explanation:

√x-3+12=24

Combine -3 and 12

√x+9=24

Subtract 9 from 24

√x=15

Now do the opposite of a square root to the other side to remove the square root from the x

x=15^2

x=225

Answer 2

225

Explanation:

√x - 3 + 12 = 24

√x + 9 =24

√x = 24 - 9

√x = 15

Squaring on both sides,

( √x )^2 = 15^2

x = 225
