This has no solution, are you sure you typed it in right?
sqrt3x+6+3=0
sqrt%283x%2B6%29%2B3-3=0-3
sqrt%283x%2B6%29=-3 As soon as you see that the answer to a sqrt is a negative number, you know that there is no solution. If you were to keep trying to solve it, you would get an extraneous solution.
%28sqrt%283x%2B6%29%29%5E2=%28-3%29%5E2
3x%2B6=9
3x%2B6-6=9-6
3x=3
3x%2F3=3%2F3
x=1
Check the solution in the original equation.
sqrt%283%281%29%2B6%29%2B3=0
sqrt%289%29%2B3=0
3%2B3=0
6=0
False, therefore, there is no solution.
Happy Calculating!!!
