Answer

$\dfrac{2}{3}$

Work Step by Step

Add $2$ to both sides: $\sqrt {6-3x}-2+2=0+2$ $\sqrt {6-3x}=2$ Square both sides: $(\sqrt {6-3x})^2=(2)^2$ $6-3x=4$ Subract $6$ from both sides: $6-3x-6=4-6$ $-3x=-2$ Divide both sides by $-3$: $\dfrac{-3x}{-3}=\dfrac{-2}{-3}$ $x=\dfrac{-2}{-3}$ $x=\dfrac{2}{3}$ Substitute into original problem $\sqrt {6-3\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)}-2=0$ $\sqrt {6-2}-2=0$ $\sqrt {4}-2=0$ $2-2=0$ $0=0$
