Question

solve for x: square root (I don't know how to make a square root on my computer) x + 2 - 3 = 5

Answer 1

I take it the 5 is not in the square root, just the x+2

Answer 2

is the equation \[5=\sqrt{x-2}-3\]?

Answer 3

no the equation looks like that but the =5 is after the -3

Answer 4

if so then
\[5=\sqrt{x+2}-3\] add 3 to both sides
\[\sqrt{x-2}=8\] square both sides to remove the square root on the left
\[x-2=64\]
x=66

Answer 5

well thats pretty much the same

Answer 6

it was just easier to input into the equation generator that way
