Multiple Choice

A logistics analyst is using the formula 3sqrt(3x - 5) - 8 = 4 to determine the optimal weight distribution for a shipping container. After isolating the radical to reach the step 3sqrt(3x - 5) = 12, the analyst must square both sides of the equation. What is the correct result of squaring the left side, (3*sqrt(3x - 5))^2?
