Provide an appropriate response.What value of x will make the following equation true? Explain your answer. 

What will be an ideal response?


x = - . Since neither square root can have a value less than 0, both must equal 0 for their sum to be 0. For a square root to equal 0, its radicand must also equal 0. Thus, -4x - 3 = 12x + 9 = 0, which yields the solution x = - . (Explanations will vary.)
