Question 851504: sqrt2x+4 = sqrt3x
(The "+4" is included under the first square root/radical sign)
Normally I would include what I've tried but I'm completely stumped on this one.
I remember being taught radical equations, in which, using what I was taught I was doing these steps:
Square each side
sqrt2x+4 = sqrt3x ---> (sqrt2x+4)^2 = (sqrt3x)^2
in which afterwards you would simplify
2x + 4 = 3x?
After that I didn't know what to do.
Thanks!

sqrt%282x%2B4%29=sqrt%283x%29
Square both sides.
2x%2B4=3x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
4=x
highlight%28x=4%29
