<u>Answer:</u>

a = 3.5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u>Let's find 'a' using Pythagoras theorem.</u>

=> 4² = 2² + a²
=> 16 = 4 + a²
=> 12 = a²
=> a = √12
=> a = √2 x 2 x 3
=> a = 2√3
=> a = 2 x √3
=> a = 2 x 1.732
=> a = 3.464 = 3.5 (Estimated)

Solve the equation, and check the solutions 2(√x+3)=6.

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Expanding the left hand side we get

$\Rightarrow 2\sqrt{x}+6=6$

Taking 6 from left hand side to right hand side

$\Rightarrow 2\sqrt{x}=6-6\\\Rightarrow 2\sqrt{x}=0$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{x}=\frac{0}{2}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{x}=0\\\Rightarrow x=0$

So, x = 0
