You can put this solution on YOUR website! solve the following equation: radical 12-x is equal to radical x+6.
-------
Square both sides to get:
12-x = x+6
------
2x = 6
x =3
------
Check for extraneous solutions:
sqrt(12-x) = sqrt(x+6)
Testing x = 3
----
sqrt(9) = sqrt(9)
======================
x = 3 is the solution
