Did you check to see if the answer in the key is correct?
\(\displaystyle \begin{align} 3\sqrt{6-x^2} - \sqrt{14-x^2} &= 0\\3\sqrt{6-{\sqrt{5}}^2} - \sqrt{14-{\sqrt{5}}^2} &= 0\\3\sqrt{6-5} - \sqrt{14-5} &= 0\\3\sqrt{1} - \sqrt{9} &= 0\\3(1) - 3 &= 0\\0&=0\end{align}\)
So, yes, the key is correct. There are often mistakes in answer keys, so always double check their answers if that's not what you're getting.
To solve radical equations, first get rid of all plus and minus signs between radicals (square roots). The goals is to be able to square both sides and eliminate the radicals.
\(\displaystyle \begin{align} 3\sqrt{6-x^2} - \sqrt{14-x^2} &= 0 \\ 3\sqrt{6-x^2} &= \sqrt{14-x^2} \\ (3\sqrt{6-x^2})^2 &= (\sqrt{14-x^2})^2 \\ 9(6-x^2) &= 14-x^2 \end{align}\)
Now just solve for x.
