This is what your problem looks like to me , but I do not think this is right

Answer 4

not quite the last term should be +3 under the radical sign - thanks for the clarification!

Answer 5

I got x= -1 and x = 2, but which one works? and am I close at all?

Answer 6

Well to see which one works you would just plug those back in.

Answer 7

so I get x = 5 correct?

Answer 8

Yes that is correct because it works for both sides.

Answer 9

x=2 worked for me!

Answer 10

The x=2 is what I meant worked, so yes you did great. Looks like you knew how to do this all along. :)
