To solve the equation [tex]\(\sqrt{6x + 4} = 8\)[/tex], follow these steps in order:
1. Square both sides (Step F):
[tex]\[
(\sqrt{6x + 4})^2 = 8^2
\][/tex]
Squaring both sides simplifies to:
[tex]\[
6x + 4 = 64
\][/tex]
2. Subtract 4 from both sides (Step D):
[tex]\[
6x + 4 - 4 = 64 - 4
\][/tex]
Simplifying this gives:
[tex]\[
6x = 60
\][/tex]
3. Divide by 6 from both sides (Step C):
[tex]\[
\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{60}{6}
\][/tex]
Simplifying this gives:
[tex]\[
x = 10
\][/tex]
Thus, the correct way to solve the equation is: First F, then D, then C.
