Mathematics

$x=-2$ or $x=-5$

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation: $\sqrt{(x+6)} - 4 = x$

we have that:

$\sqrt{(x+6)} - 4 = x$ ⇒ $(x+6) = (x+4)^{2}$

⇒ $x+6 = x^{2} + 8x + 16$ ⇒ $x^{2} + 7x + 10 = 0$

factorizing, we get that:

$x^{2} + 7x + 10 = 0$ ⇒ $(x+2)(x+5)=0$

then, the solutions are: $x=-2$ or $x=-5$

nothing extraneous has been found!
