start with:

2 * (x-2)^2 = 22

divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get (x-2)^2 = 11

take the square root of both sides of the equation to get x-2 = plus or minus sqrt(11).

add 2 to both sides of the equation to get x = 2 plus or minus sqrt(11)

you have two possible values for x.

x = 2 + sqrt(11)

x = 2 - sqrt(11)

replace x in the original equation with these values and you'll see that the equation is true.
