Find the only value of x that satisfies:

 

 

\(\sqrt{7+\sqrt{4-\sqrt{3+x}}}=3\)

\(\sqrt{7+\sqrt{4-\sqrt{3+x}}}=3\)

\(7+\sqrt{4-\sqrt{3+x}}=9\)     (squared both sides)

\(\sqrt{4-\sqrt{3+x}}=2\)             (subtracted 7 from both sides)

\(4-\sqrt{3+x}=4\)                 (square both sides again)

\(-\sqrt{3+x}=0\)                     (subtracted 4 from both sides)

\(\sqrt{3+x}=0\)                        (divided both sides by -1)

\(3+x=0\)                            (squared both sides again)

\(\boxed{x=-3}\)
