Question 950070: I can't figure out if I did this problem right in which the graph of y=sqrt(x) is reflected across the y axis and then it is translated six units to the left and then upwards eight units. I got y = sqrt (-(x-6)+8) but I'm not sure if i understand it correctly.

You're on the right track but missed on some steps.
Let's look at it step by step.
y=sqrt%28-x%29
