Asked by Alex

What are the restrictions on x if the solution to the equation -4 - square root 4-x=6 involves real numbers?

Answers

Answered by Steve
-4 - √(4-x) = 6
-√(4-x) = 10

4-x = 100
x = -96

Unfortunately, this is not a solution, since

-4 - √(100) = -4-10 = -14, NOT 6

√100 is NOT ±10. √100 is 10. So, the equation as written has no real solutions
