1. Problem Description

The problem is to solve the equation (3x+1)2=6(3x + 1)^2 = 6 for xx using the square root property. The solution must be in exact form, using radicals if necessary.

2. Solution Steps

The equation is (3x+1)2=6(3x + 1)^2 = 6. To solve for xx, first take the square root of both sides:
(3x+1)2=6\sqrt{(3x+1)^2} = \sqrt{6}
3x+1=±63x+1 = \pm\sqrt{6}
Next, subtract 1 from both sides:
3x=1±63x = -1 \pm \sqrt{6}
Finally, divide by 3:
x=1±63x = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{6}}{3}
Thus, the two solutions are x=1+63x = \frac{-1 + \sqrt{6}}{3} and x=163x = \frac{-1 - \sqrt{6}}{3}.

3. Final Answer

1+63,163\frac{-1+\sqrt{6}}{3}, \frac{-1-\sqrt{6}}{3}
