yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so start with subtracting 4 from both sides \[\sqrt{x+2}=x-4\] then square both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x+2 = (x-4)^{2} \] then factor out the side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ x+ 2 =x ^{2}-8x-16\] then put all x's to one side x2-9x=18
