Question

x^2-6x=8
Solve for x?

Answer 1

I think I'm getting tired :(

Answer 2

\[x^2 -6x-8 = 0\] and then use the quadratic formula

Answer 3

Got it, thanks. Some of these processes are blending together. Thank you

Answer 4

if you work through everything you get \[x = 3 \pm \sqrt17\]

Answer 5

So next one is:
\[\sqrt{x-6} = 3\]

Answer 6

Same thing? Get in standard form first/

Answer 7

exactly. Square both sides, and use the same strategy. In this case however you get \[\sqrt{x-6}=3 \rightarrow x-6=9 \rightarrow x=15\] so its more simple than the last.

Answer 8

Wow...easier than it , thanks again
