OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

$\sqrt{2r}=2+\sqrt{r-2}$ $\sqrt{2r}-\sqrt{r-2}=2$ $2r-2\sqrt{2r(r-2)}+r-2=4$ not done yet....

I am having comp probs hold on...

$3r-2\sqrt{2r^2-4}+ r-2=4$ $2\sqrt{2r^2-4}=3r-6$ am doing good so far?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

$8r^2-16=9r^2-32r+52$ $-r^2+32r-68=0$ $r^2-32r+68=0$ is this good so far? $(r-16)^2=188$ $r= 16 ± 2\sqrt{47}$ right?

can't factor

$r^2+28=-4$ $(r+14)^2=-4+196$ $r=-14± 32\sqrt{3}$

@Victoria_Cakes20, do the following: (Step by Step) 1) add 4 to both sides 2) divide both sides by 3 do this carefully and correctly (what's your answer?)

OpenStudy (ranga):

(2r)^1/2 = 2 + (r - 2)^1/2 (2r)^1/2 - 2 = (r - 2)^1/2 Square both sides 2r - 4(2r)^1/2 + 4 = r - 2 Take the radical to the right and everything else to the left 2r + 4 - r + 2 = 4(2r)^1/2 r + 6 = 4(2r)^1/2 Square both sides r^2 + 12r + 36 = 16(2r) = 32r r^2 + 12r + 36 - 32r = 0 r^2 - 20r + 36 = 0 r^2 - 2r - 18r + 36 = 0 r(r - 2) - 18(r - 2) = 0 (r - 18)(r - 2) = 0 r = 18 or r = 2

Yes, how didn't I figured this out?

And it works perfectly for each.
