- 10 + SQRT(x + 8) = - 4
Radical Equatiion Entered:
- 10 + SQRT(x + 8) = - 4
Step by step Solution 1:
Isolate the square root on the left hands side.
Original Equation:
- 10 + SQRT(x + 8) = - 4
Isolate: SQRT(x + 8) = 10 - 4
Tidy up:
SQRT (x + 8) = 6
Step 2: Eliminate the radical on the left hand sied:
Raise both sides to the Second Power:
(SQRT X + 8)^2 = (6)^2
After Squaring
X + 8 = 36
Step 3: Solve Linear equation:
Rearrange Equation:
x - 28 = 0
Add 28 to both sides:
x = 28
Possible solution is:
X = 28
Step 4 CHECK:
Original equation, root isolated, after tidy up.
SQRT(x + 8) = 6
Plug in 28 for X
SQRT(28) + 8 = 6
Simplify:
SQRT(36) = 6
Solution Check is
X = 28
Answer:
(A.); X = 28
