$\huge\boxed{x=25}$

The mistake is in Step 1. The solver should have also squared $9$ when squaring the other side of the equation.

<h3>Correctly solving</h3>

$\begin{aligned}\sqrt{3x+6}&=9\\(\sqrt{3x+6})^2&=9^2\\3x+6&=81\\3x+6-6&=81-6\\3x&=75\\\frac{3x}{3}&=\frac{75}{3}\\x&=25\end{aligned}$

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The mistake here is the squaring. When you square one side, you have to do the same on the other side:

$\sqrt{3x+6}$ = 9

$(\sqrt{3x+6}) ^{2}$ = $9^{2}$

3x + 6 = 81

3x = 75

x = 25

Find the slope of the line going through the point (0,3) and (0,4)

telo118 [61]

Answer:

undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the line between two points, use the slope formula $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ . $x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of one point the line passes through, and $x_2$ and $y_2$ represent the x and y values of another point the line also passes through. Therefore, use the x and y values of the points (0,3) and (0,4) to find the slope. Substitute them into the formula in the right order:

$\frac{(4)-(3)}{(0)-(0)} \\= \frac{4-3}{0-0}\\=\frac{1}{0}$

However, we can't divide 1 by 0. Therefore, the slope is undefined. (You could also graph the points to see that they form a vertical line, and all vertical lines have an undefined slope.)
