Question

How do I solve an equation by the square root property?
Like: (2x-1)squared=53

Answer 1

\[(2x-1)^{2}=53\]
Perform the indicated squaring.
\[4x ^{2}-4x+1=53\]
Subtract 53 from both sides getting\[4x ^{2}-4x-52=0\]
Divide thru by 4 getting\[x ^{2}-x-13=0\]

Answer 2

Solve using quadratic formula.

Answer 3

a=1, b=-1, and c=-13
