The equation says that \u221a(x - 3) is 3. To remove the square root, square both sides: x - 3 = 3\u00b2 = 9. Now isolate x by moving the constant to the other side, so x = 9 + 3 = 12. Always check radical equations: substituting x = 12 makes the expression inside the root equal to 9, and \u221a9 = 3. So the correct answer is 12.","mcq_options":[{"right":"no","answer":"-12"},{"right":"no","answer":"6"},{"right":"yes","answer":"12"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":1425,"title":"Mathematics","slug":"mathematics"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":2705,"title":"Algebra","slug":"algebra"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/18377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/39"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18377"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=18377"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=18377"},{"taxonomy":"education_level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/education_level?post=18377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
