What is the solution set of (3x - 1)^2 = 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first bring the five over and then mulitply to get 9x^2-6x+1-5. Then your answer is 9x^2-6x-4

steps: ---> take sqrt on both side first ---> add 1 to both sides ---> divide both sides by 3

@rizwan_uet both sides as in the square root of (3x-1)^2 and 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes , square root of (3x-1)^2 and 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How exactly do you get the square root of (3x-1)^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
