Question 188414
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ sqrt{3x + 1}-2=8]


Add 2 to both sides:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ sqrt{3x + 1}=10]


Square both sides:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 3x + 1 = 100]


Add -1 to both sides:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 3x = 99]


Multiply both sides by *[tex \Large \frac{1}{3}]


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x = 33]


Check the answer:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ sqrt{3(33) + 1}-2=^?8]
