Question

What is the solution to the equation [[square root] 2x + 8] - 6 = 4 ? Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

46

Step-by-step explanation:

√(2x + 8) − 6 = 4

Add 6 to both sides:

√(2x + 8) = 10

Square both sides:

2x + 8 = 100

Subtract 8 from both sides:

2x = 92

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 46
