%28sqrt%28%281%2F3%29x%2B2%29%29%5E2=8%5E2 Square both sides


%281%2F3%29x%2B2=8%5E2 Square the square root of the left side to eliminate it.


%281%2F3%29x%2B2=64 Square 8 to get 64


cross%283%29%28%281%2Fcross%283%29%29x%29%2B3%282%29=3%2864%29 Multiply EVERY term by the LCD 3 to clear the fractions.


x%2B6=192 Distribute and multiply.


x=192-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


x=186 Combine like terms on the right side.
