You can put this solution on YOUR website!
sqrt(x+6) -2-x=0,,,,,,assume this is problem,,,,please check
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "sqrt(x+6) = x+2
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "square both sides
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(x+6) = (x+2)(x+2)= x^2 +4x +4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "0= x^2 +3x -2
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Using quadratic formula,,,a=1,,b=3,,,c=(-2)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x= [ -3 +/- sqrt{ 3^2 -4*1*-2} ] / (2*1)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x= [ -3+/- sqrt17]/2
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x=.562,,,-3.562
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "checking (x=.562),,,sqrt(.562+6) -(2) -(.562) =0,,,ok
\n" ); document.write( "(x=-3.562),,,sqrt(-3.562+6) -2 -(-3.562)=3.123 not=0,,,,,not ok
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore,,,x=.562\r
