you may just say yes or no thx

Answer 1

close

Answer 2

want a hint?

Answer 3

well yes

Answer 4

you forgot to take the square root of 31

Answer 5

once you had \((x-6)^2=31\) the next step was \(x-6=\pm\sqrt{31}\) not \(x-6=\pm31\)

Answer 6

o so il use 2 instead of 6

Answer 7

no no you had it correct, you just forgot the square root

Answer 8

it is not \(-31+6\) but rather \(-\sqrt{31}+6\) and \(\sqrt{31}+6\)

Answer 9

you don't know the square root of 31, so just leave it in your answer
