Solve. LaTeX:  \displaystyle \sqrt{x + 14}=\sqrt{x + 6} + 3

Squaring both sides gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle x + 14=x + 6 \sqrt{x + 6} + 15 . Isolating the radical gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle - \frac{1}{6}=\sqrt{x + 6} Squaring again gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle \frac{1}{36}=x + 6 . Solving for LaTeX:  \displaystyle x gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle x=- \frac{215}{36} . Checking the solution, LaTeX:  \displaystyle x = - \frac{215}{36} , in the original equation gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle \frac{17}{6} = \frac{19}{6} which is false so it is an extraneous solution and there is no solution.
