Solve. LaTeX:  \displaystyle \sqrt{x + 32}=\sqrt{x - 6} - 3

Squaring both sides gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle x + 32=x - 6 \sqrt{x - 6} + 3 . Isolating the radical gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle - \frac{29}{6}=\sqrt{x - 6} Squaring again gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle \frac{841}{36}=x - 6 . Solving for LaTeX:  \displaystyle x gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle x=\frac{1057}{36} . Checking the solution, LaTeX:  \displaystyle x = \frac{1057}{36} , in the original equation gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle \frac{47}{6} = \frac{11}{6} which is false so it is an extraneous solution and there is no solution.
