The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \sqrt{4x} = x - 3 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Square both sides To eliminate the square root, we square both sides of the equation: \[ (\sqrt{4x})^2 = (x - 3)^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4x = (x - 3)(x - 3) \] ### Step 2: Expand the right side Now, we expand the right side: \[ 4x = x^2 - 6x + 9 \] ### Step 3: Rearrange the equation Next, we rearrange the equation to set it to zero: \[ 0 = x^2 - 6x + 9 - 4x \] This simplifies to: \[ 0 = x^2 - 10x + 9 \] ### Step 4: Factor the quadratic equation Now, we will factor the quadratic equation: \[ 0 = (x - 1)(x - 9) \] ### Step 5: Solve for x Setting each factor equal to zero gives us: \[ x - 1 = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x - 9 = 0 \] Thus, we find: \[ x = 1 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 9 \] ### Step 6: Check for extraneous solutions We need to check both solutions in the original equation to ensure they are valid. **For \( x = 1 \):** \[ \sqrt{4 \cdot 1} = 1 - 3 \] \[ \sqrt{4} = -2 \] \[ 2 \neq -2 \quad \text{(not valid)} \] **For \( x = 9 \):** \[ \sqrt{4 \cdot 9} = 9 - 3 \] \[ \sqrt{36} = 6 \] \[ 6 = 6 \quad \text{(valid)} \] ### Conclusion The only valid solution is \( x = 9 \). ### Final Answer The values of \( x \) that satisfy the equation are: \[ \text{Only } 9 \] ---

To solve the equation \( \sqrt{4x} = x - 3 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Square both sides To eliminate the square root, we square both sides of the equation: \[ (\sqrt{4x})^2 = (x - 3)^2 \] This simplifies to: ...
