Question 852133: {sqrt2x+4} = sqrt3x
Not sure if my steps are wrong, or what; But, no matter what, I always get an answer that doesn't work as the outcome. What I did is below. Please help! Thanks!
Here's what I did:
{sqrt2x+4} = sqrt3x
Square each side; ({sqrt2x+4})^2 = (sqrt3x)^2
Simplify; 2x + 4 = 3x
Subtract x from both sides (this is probably where I went wrong); x + 4 = 2x
Divide each side by 2; 2 = x
But, once plugging the solution into the problem, it does not fit.
