Question

I am having problems trying to figure out how to solve radical expressions theproblem is 3(checkmarkthing) x-2=3

Answer 1

Don't you solve for x?

Answer 2

yes but i cant figure out how to get x alone im lookint at my book and i dont understand it

Answer 3

ah ok, well you know your order of operations right?
when you are simplifying, all you do is instead of PEMDAS you SADMEP

Answer 4

so add/subtract from the x side, then multiply/divide
then square both sides

Answer 5

erm, no 3(sqrtx)-2=3
+2 +2
3(sqrt x)=5
/3 /3
(sqrt x)=5/3
and in order to get rid of a square root you square it so ou would get
(-/x)^2=(5/3)^2

Answer 6

is it
\[3\sqrt{x-2}=3\] or is it
\[3\sqrt{x}-2=3\]?

Answer 7

I think the second one, juding by the pic at the top

Answer 8

firstone

Answer 9

oh ok then,
the you get 3(sqrt x-2)=2
/3 /3

Answer 10

and square both sides

Answer 11

then add 2

Answer 12

then divide both sides by 3 and get
\[\sqrt{x-2}=1\] square both sides and get
\[x-2=1\] therefor \(x=3\)

Answer 13

^3sqrt x-2=3
