What is the solution of 3square root x+8 = -4?
• x=-72
• x=-66
• x=58
• no solution

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

I'd suggest you try to solve this first:  3√(x + 8) = 4.  First, square both sides; this results in 9(x + 8) = 16, or x + 72 = 16/9, or x = -632/9.  We cannot let x = -632/9 in √(x + 8) because -632/9 is not in the domain of the square root function.  No solution.

If we now write 3√(x + 8) = -4   (note the negative sign), similar efforts at solution result in 9(x + 8) = -4, or x + 8 = -4/9, or x = -8 - 4/9.  If we now substitute this result for (x + 8) in 3√(x + 8) = -4 (above), we get 3√(-8 + 8 - 4/9), which has no solution; -4/9 is not in the domain of the square root function.
