Question

Solve for x: (x - 9)2 = 1

Answer 1

take the square root of both sides

x - 9 = 1 or x - 9 = -1

Add 9 to both sides

x = 10 or x = 8

Answer 2

X= 1by2
+ 9

Answer 3

Divide both sides by 2 and you get x-9= 1/2. Now add 9 to both sides, giving you x= 1/2 +9. 9 plus 1/2 = 9.5 Therefore x=9.5
