Okay Mukisa, I can definitely help you with these radical equations in English.

Here are the steps to solve the radical equations:

Part a· 6 steps

Solve 4−x−6+x=14+2x\sqrt{4-x} - \sqrt{6+x} = \sqrt{14+2x}

  1. Determine the domain for xx where the terms under the radicals are non-negative.

    The expressions under the square roots must be non-negative:
    4−x≥0  ⟹  x≤44-x \ge 0 \implies x \le 4
    6+x≥0  ⟹  x≥−66+x \ge 0 \implies x \ge -6
    14+2x≥0  ⟹  2x≥−14  ⟹  x≥−714+2x \ge 0 \implies 2x \ge -14 \implies x \ge -7
    Therefore, xx must be in the interval [−6,4][-6, 4].

  2. Isolate one radical and then square both sides of the equation.

    Rearrange the equation to isolate one radical:

    4−x=14+2x+6+x\sqrt{4-x} = \sqrt{14+2x} + \sqrt{6+x}

    Square both sides:

    (4−x)2=(14+2x+6+x)2(\sqrt{4-x})^2 = (\sqrt{14+2x} + \sqrt{6+x})^2 4−x=(14+2x)+(6+x)+2(14+2x)(6+x)4-x = (14+2x) + (6+x) + 2\sqrt{(14+2x)(6+x)} 4−x=20+3x+284+14x+12x+2x24-x = 20+3x + 2\sqrt{84+14x+12x+2x^2} 4−x=20+3x+22x2+26x+844-x = 20+3x + 2\sqrt{2x^2+26x+84}
  3. Isolate the remaining radical and simplify.

    −16−4x=22x2+26x+84-16-4x = 2\sqrt{2x^2+26x+84}

    Divide both sides by 2:

    −8−2x=2x2+26x+84-8-2x = \sqrt{2x^2+26x+84}

    Since the right side is a square root (and thus non-negative), the left side must also be non-negative:

    −8−2x≥0  ⟹  −2x≥8  ⟹  x≤−4-8-2x \ge 0 \implies -2x \ge 8 \implies x \le -4

    So, any solution must satisfy the initial domain conditions and x≤−4x \le -4. This means xx must be in the interval [−6,−4][-6, -4].

  4. Square both sides again and solve the resulting quadratic equation.

    (−8−2x)2=(2x2+26x+84)2(-8-2x)^2 = (\sqrt{2x^2+26x+84})^2 (2x+8)2=2x2+26x+84(2x+8)^2 = 2x^2+26x+84 4x2+32x+64=2x2+26x+844x^2+32x+64 = 2x^2+26x+84 2x2+6x−20=02x^2+6x-20 = 0

    Divide by 2:

    x2+3x−10=0x^2+3x-10 = 0

    Factor the quadratic equation:

    (x+5)(x−2)=0(x+5)(x-2) = 0

    Thus, x=−5x=-5 or x=2x=2.

  5. Check the solutions against the domain conditions.

    From Step 3, we required x∈[−6,−4]x \in [-6, -4].

    • For x=−5x=-5: −5-5 is within the interval [−6,−4][-6, -4].
    • For x=2x=2: 2 is not within the interval [−6,−4][-6, -4]. Thus, x=2x=2 is an extraneous solution.
  6. Verify the valid solution in the original equation.

    For x=−5x=-5:

    4−(−5)−6+(−5)=14+2(−5)\sqrt{4-(-5)} - \sqrt{6+(-5)} = \sqrt{14+2(-5)} 9−1=14−10\sqrt{9} - \sqrt{1} = \sqrt{14-10} 3−1=43 - 1 = \sqrt{4} 2=22 = 2

    The solution is correct.

    The solution for equation a) is: x=−5\boxed{x=-5}

Part b

Solve 2x−12+2x−3−3=02\sqrt{x-12} + \sqrt{2x-3} - 3 = 0

  1. Determine the domain for xx where the terms under the radicals are non-negative.

    The expressions under the square roots must be non-negative:
    x−12≥0  ⟹  x≥12x-12 \ge 0 \implies x \ge 12
    2x−3≥0  ⟹  2x≥3  ⟹  x≥322x-3 \ge 0 \implies 2x \ge 3 \implies x \ge \frac{3}{2}
    Therefore, xx must be in the interval [12,∞)[12, \infty).

  2. Isolate one radical and then square both sides of the equation.

    Rearrange the equation:

    2x−12+2x−3=32\sqrt{x-12} + \sqrt{2x-3} = 3

    Square both sides:

    (2x−12+2x−3)2=32(2\sqrt{x-12} + \sqrt{2x-3})^2 = 3^2 4(x−12)+(2x−3)+4(x−12)(2x−3)=94(x-12) + (2x-3) + 4\sqrt{(x-12)(2x-3)} = 9 4x−48+2x−3+42x2−3x−24x+36=94x-48+2x-3 + 4\sqrt{2x^2-3x-24x+36} = 9 6x−51+42x2−27x+36=96x-51 + 4\sqrt{2x^2-27x+36} = 9
  3. Isolate the remaining radical and simplify.

    42x2−27x+36=9−(6x−51)4\sqrt{2x^2-27x+36} = 9 - (6x-51) 42x2−27x+36=60−6x4\sqrt{2x^2-27x+36} = 60 - 6x

    Divide both sides by 2:

    22x2−27x+36=30−3x2\sqrt{2x^2-27x+36} = 30 - 3x

    Since the left side (square root) is non-negative, the right side must also be non-negative:

    30−3x≥0  ⟹  30≥3x  ⟹  x≤1030-3x \ge 0 \implies 30 \ge 3x \implies x \le 10
  4. Compare the conditions for the variable.

    From Step 1, we required x≥12x \ge 12.
    From Step 3, we required x≤10x \le 10.
    There is no value of xx that can satisfy both conditions (x≥12x \ge 12 and x≤10x \le 10) simultaneously. This means there is no valid solution for this equation.

    The solution for equation b) is: No solution\boxed{\text{No solution}}
