Question

How do you solve `sqrt(-2x) + 64 = 6`?

Answer 1

There are no solutions to this equation

Explanation:

By convention
`color(white)("XXXX")` `sqrt("anything") >= 0`

Therefore for any value of `x`
`color(white)("XXXX")` `sqrt(-2x)+64`
`color(white)("XXXX")` `color(white)("XXXX")` `color(white)("XXXX")` `>= 64`
`color(white)("XXXX")` `color(white)("XXXX")` `color(white)("XXXX")` `!= 6`
