solve! (x-2)^2=49

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9 or -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try taking the root of both sides to get rid of the exponent =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did we get that math lover?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay elekt !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-7 and 7 to power 2 is 49, so x-2=7 or x-2=-7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And remember, that when taking roots you get two solutions!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in not sure how to take the root of both sides?! :(

|dw:1322519218435:dw| thats all i know how to do :( sad..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x-2)^{2} = 49\] \[(x-2) = \pm \sqrt{}49\] \[x-2 = \pm 7\]

|dw:1322519268606:dw| should i foil ? lol
