You can put this solution on YOUR website!
sqrt%283x%2B4%29=5

Perform operations, the same on both sides of equation, to isolate x.
You see x stuck inside the square root function; you must undo this. What you do, must be done to both sides.

sqrt%283x%2B4%29sqrt%283x%2B4%29=5%2A5, which is actually two combined steps.
Where will that take you?
