Solve -2-4sqrt{9x}=-14

$$-2-4 \sqrt{ 9x } =-14$$

Solve for x

$$x=1$$

Steps for Solving Radical Equations

Add 2 to both sides of the equation.

$$-4\sqrt{9x}-2-\left(-2\right)=-14-\left(-2\right)$$

Subtracting -2 from itself leaves 0.

$$-4\sqrt{9x}=-14-\left(-2\right)$$

Subtract -2 from -14.

$$-4\sqrt{9x}=-12$$

Divide both sides by -4.

$$\frac{-4\sqrt{9x}}{-4}=-\frac{12}{-4}$$

Dividing by -4 undoes the multiplication by -4.

$$\sqrt{9x}=-\frac{12}{-4}$$

Divide -12 by -4.

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

Square both sides of the equation.

$$9x=9$$

Divide both sides by 9.

$$\frac{9x}{9}=\frac{9}{9}$$

Dividing by 9 undoes the multiplication by 9.

$$x=\frac{9}{9}$$

Divide 9 by 9.

$$x=1$$
