What is the solution to the equation below. 12 + square root 1 - 4x = 15

Answer:
C) x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Original equation:
[tex]12+\sqrt{1-4x}=15\\[/tex]
subtract 12 from both sides:
[tex]\implies \sqrt{1-4x}=3[/tex]
square both sides:
[tex]\implies 1-4x=9[/tex]
subtract 1 from both sides:
[tex]\implies -4x=8[/tex]
divide both sides by -4:
[tex]\implies x=-2[/tex]
[tex]\\ \tt\rightarrowtail 12+\sqrt{1-4x}=15[/tex]
[tex]\\ \tt\rightarrowtail \sqrt{1-4x}=3[/tex]
[tex]\\ \tt\rightarrowtail 1-4x=3^2[/tex]
[tex]\\ \tt\rightarrowtail 1-4x=9[/tex]
[tex]\\ \tt\rightarrowtail -4x=8[/tex]
[tex]\\ \tt\rightarrowtail x=-2[/tex]
