Isolate Square Root: Isolate the square root on one side of the equation.Subtract 11 from both sides of the equation to isolate the square root.7x+72+11−11=15−117x+72=4
Square Both Sides: Square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root.(7x+72)2=427x+72=16
Isolate Variable: Isolate the variable on one side of the equation to solve for x. Subtract 72 from both sides of the equation. 7x+72−72=16−727x=−56
Divide by 7: Divide both sides of the equation by 7 to solve for x.77x=7−56x=−8
