Answer:

The equation that represents this situation could be:

  • [tex]\sqrt{x} = 6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

How the statement says: "The square root of a number is 6", your unknown number is the one that taking the square root you obtain 6, by this, the right equation is:

  • [tex]\sqrt{x} =6[/tex]

Now, we solve this to identify the unknown number:

  • [tex]\sqrt{x} = 6[/tex]  

To eliminate the square root, you must elevate to the square root in both places:

  • [tex](\sqrt{x})^{2}= 6^{2}[/tex]

On the left side, the square root and the square elevated are eliminated, on the right side the number six is elevated to its square:

  • [tex]x=36[/tex]

So, the value of x makes this equation true is 36.
