Solve. LaTeX:  \displaystyle \sqrt{x + 28}=\sqrt{x + 6} - 3

Squaring both sides gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle x + 28=x - 6 \sqrt{x + 6} + 15 . Isolating the radical gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle - \frac{13}{6}=\sqrt{x + 6} Squaring again gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle \frac{169}{36}=x + 6 . Solving for LaTeX:  \displaystyle x gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle x=- \frac{47}{36} . Checking the solution, LaTeX:  \displaystyle x = - \frac{47}{36} , in the original equation gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle \frac{31}{6} = - \frac{5}{6} which is false so it is an extraneous solution and there is no solution.
