Answer:12
Step-by-step explanation:
Your goal with variables should always be to isolate them.
so the first step is to subtract the 4
3x^2+4=436
-4= -4
3x^2=432
The next step to isolate the variable x is to get rid of the 3. To get rid of the 3 you have to divide both sides by 3 since it is the opposite of multiplying.
3x^2=432
/3. =/3
x^2=144
the last step to isolate the x is to do the opposite of what an exponent is, which is to find the square root. So when you square the x^2, the exponent cancels out.
square root of x^2=x
square root of 144=12
x=12
hope this helps!
