Question 537377: Use the square root property to solve the equation. (x-6)^2=4 Found 2 solutions by algebrahouse.com, Edwin McCravy:Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! (x - 6)² = 4
x - 6 = 2 or x - 6 = -2 {took the square root of both sides}
x = 8 or x = 4 {added 6 to both sides}
(x - 6)² = 4
Take away the square on the left, take ± the square root of the
right side:
_
x - 6 = ±Ö4
x - 6 = ±2
x = 6 ± 2
Using the + Using the -
x = 6 + 2 x = 6 - 2
x = 8 x = 4
