Take the square root then solve two linear equations.

Explanation:

Since we have a squared term, lets begin by taking the square root of both sides, so that we have:

4x+3=±6

Let's subtract 3 on both sides:

4x=±63

Then divide by 4:

x=±634

So we have two solutions:

x=634

x=634

Including the ± is important, or else we would have missed one of the solutions.
