Work Step by Step

$\sqrt {x^2-7}+3=0$ $\sqrt {x^2-7}+3-3=0-3$ $\sqrt {x^2-7}=-3$ $(\sqrt {x^2-7})^2=(-3)^2$ $x^2-7=9$ $x^2=16$ $\sqrt {x^2} = \sqrt {16}$ $x=±4$ $\sqrt {x^2-7}+3=0$ $\sqrt {(-4)^2-7}+3=0$ $\sqrt {16-7}+3=0$ $\sqrt {9}+3=0$ $3+3=0$ $6=0$ (false) $\sqrt {x^2-7}+3=0$ $\sqrt {(4)^2-7}+3=0$ $\sqrt {16-7}+3=0$ $\sqrt {9}+3=0$ $3+3=0$ $6=0$ (false)
