✔ 最佳答案
x = √(4x+12)
Square both sides of the above equation, then we get
x^2 = 4x+12
x^2-4x-12 = (4x+12)-4x-12
x^2-4x-12 = 4x-4x+12-12
x^2-4x-12 = 0
x^2+2x-6x-12 = 0
x(x+2)-6(x+2) = 0
(x+2)(x-6) = 0
x = -2 or x=6

Hope this helps.

(x)^2=(√(4x+12))^2
x^2=4x+12
x^2-4x-12=0
(x+2)(x-6)=0
x+2=0 x-6=0
x=-2 x=6

x={-2,6} answer//

x = √(4x + 12)

x² = (√(4x + 12))²

x² = 4x + 12

x² - 4x - 12 = 0

find the factor of -12

(-1)(12), (-2)(6), (-3)(4), (-4)(3), (-6)(2), (-12)(1)

use (-6)(2) because -6 + 2 = -4 (the coeffisient of x)

x² - 4x - 12 = 0

(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0

x = 6 or x = -2

x = √(4x+12) so x>=0
x² = [√(4x+12)]² where x >= 0
x² = 4x + 12 where x >= 0
x² - 4x - 12 = 0 where x >= 0
(x-6)(x+2) = 0 where x >= 0
x = 6 only valid answer

Gosh, I love thumbs down for the only correct answer, plug in x = -2 and see why it's wrong...
-2 = √(4*-2+12)
-2 = √4
-2 ≠ 2
x = -2 is what we call an extraneous solution

x= -2 and 6

x = √(4x + 12)
x^2 = 4x + 12
x^2 - 4x - 12 = 0
x^2 + 2x - 6x - 12 = 0
(x^2 + 2x) - (6x + 12) = 0
x(x + 2) - 6(x + 2) = 0
(x + 2)(x - 6) = 0

x + 2 = 0
x = -2

x - 6 = 0
x = 6

(-2 cannot be the answer because √4 ≠ -2)

∴ x ONLY equals 6.
