\[(x-1)^{2}=8\]

Answer 2

use square root property to solve equation, show me how, please? :)

Answer 3

i would take the square root of both sides

Answer 4

x-1=sqrt(8)
x-1=2.828
x=3.828

Answer 5

i know there are two answers? just not sure how to get em.

Answer 6

\[x=1 \pm \sqrt8\]

Answer 7

x-1=+sqrt(8) or -sqrt(8)
x-1=2.828 or -2.828
x=1+2.828 or 1-2.828
x=3.828 or -1.828

Answer 8

Thanks Sarah :) that looks right, how did you get it?

Answer 9

\[(x-1)^2 =8\]take the squareroot of both sides\[x-1=\pm \sqrt8\]

Answer 10

\[x=1 \pm \sqrt8\]
