Thread: Help me solve this equation please.

3^[(sqrt x) -1]+3^[2-(sqrt x)]=12

This forum is for introductions. The forums most appropriate for this topic is either algebra or pre-calculus.

Anyway, I think I would rewrite the equation as follows:



Multiply through by :



Now you have a quadratic in .

Does this make life easier?

[3^(sqrtx)]/3 + 3^2/3(sqrtx)=12?

some advice ... look at post #2 again
