Question 696109: which is the solution of (5x+2^2)=53

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You wrote %285x%2B2%5E2%29=53
%285x%2B2%5E2%29=53-->5x%2B2%5E2=53-->5x%2B4=53-->5x=53-4-->5x=49-->x=49%2F5

You probably meant to type %285x%2B2%29%5E2=53
%285x%2B2%29%5E2=53-->5x%2B2=sqrt%2853%29 OR 5x%2B2=-sqrt%2853%29
5x%2B2=sqrt%2853%29-->5x=-2%2Bsqrt%2853%29-->x=%28-2%2Bsqrt%2853%29%29%2F5
5x%2B2=-sqrt%2853%29-->5x=-2-sqrt%2853%29-->x=%28-2-sqrt%2853%29%29%2F5

We like to write both solutions in one equation as
highlight%28x=%28-2+%2B-+sqrt%2853%29%29%2F5%29
