Solve: square root of x+9 = square root of 3 + square root of x
-
sqrt(x + 9) = sqrt(3) + sqrt(x)
Let's first square both sides to get rid of the square roots:
sqrt(x+9)^2 = (sqrt3 + sqrtx)^2
x + 9 = 3 + 2sqrt3x + x
6 = 2sqrt3x
3 = sqrt3x
square both sides again
3x = 9
x = 3
Let's first square both sides to get rid of the square roots:
sqrt(x+9)^2 = (sqrt3 + sqrtx)^2
x + 9 = 3 + 2sqrt3x + x
6 = 2sqrt3x
3 = sqrt3x
square both sides again
3x = 9
x = 3
-
square both sides to get:
x + 9 = x + 2sqrt3 + 3 rearrange to get
6 = 2sqrt 3 square both sides again
36 = 4(3x) solve for x
x = 3
x + 9 = x + 2sqrt3 + 3 rearrange to get
6 = 2sqrt 3 square both sides again
36 = 4(3x) solve for x
x = 3

Your question is un-clear...but introducing exponent 2 on all terms will work surely...than transpoese everytjing to one side.
-
sqrt(x + 9) = sqrt(3) + sqrt(x)
x + 9 = [sqrt(3) + sqrt(x)]^2 = x + 3 + 2sqrt(3x)
2 sqrt(3x) = 6
sqrt(3x) = 3
3x = 3^2 = 9
x = 3
x + 9 = [sqrt(3) + sqrt(x)]^2 = x + 3 + 2sqrt(3x)
2 sqrt(3x) = 6
sqrt(3x) = 3
3x = 3^2 = 9
x = 3

x = 3
