Solve the problem, and check for extraneous solutions:

1. 4x - (x * 3^(1/2)) = 6

Sorry, it's very hard to do square roots. It should just be x root 3 if u know what i mean. neway, thanks so much for your help!!!

  1. 4x - √3 x = 6

    (4 - √3) x = 6

    x = 6 / (4 - √3)

    x = 6 (4 + √3)  /  (4 - √3)(4 + √3)

    x = 6 (4 + √3)  /  13

    x = (6 / 13) (4 + √3)


  2. Do you mean 4X- (3X)^1/2=6?

  3. 4x - x√3 = 6

    factor the x from the two terms on the left side

    x(4-√3) = 6

    divide by the complex number

    x = 6/ (4-√3)

    at this point you can put it into a scientific calculator

    x = 2.65

    or if you are suppose to leave it in radical form then you should rationalize the denominator by multiplying by the complex conjugate (4+√3).

    x = 6 (4 + √3) / (4 - √3)(4 + √3)

    x = 6 (4 + √3) / (4*4 - √3 * √3 )

    x = 6 (4 + √3) / 13

    x = (6 / 13) (4 + √3)

  4. Then,x^3/2=4x-6,x^3=16x^2-48x^2=36,then x^3+48x^2-16x^2-36=0,Then look for x,it must have atleast one real solution.
