Answer:

x = 118

Explanation:

Given


√(x+3) - 2 = 9 ( add 2 to both sides )


√(x+3) = 11 ( square both sides )

(
√(x+3))² = 11², that is

x + 3 = 121 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x = 118

As a check

Substitute x = 118 into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then it is the solution.


√(118+3) - 2

=
√(121) - 2 = 11 - 2 = 9 = right side, thus

x = 118 is the solution
