sqrt ( x + 36) + 6  = x   subtract 6 from both sides

 

sqrt (x + 36) = x - 6      square both sides

 

x + 36 = x^2 - 12x + 36     subtract 36 from both sides

 

x =  x^2 - 12x       rearrange as

 

x^2 + 13x = 0      factor

 

x ( x + 13) = 0     set both factors to 0 and x = 0 [reject this]  or x = 13 [accept this]

 

 

cool cool cool
