QUESTION:

find the value of x:
88=11%28sqrt%283x%29-2%29


ANSWER:



88+=+11+%28sqrt%283x%29-2%29



Divde both sides of the expression by 11.


==> 88%2F11+=++%2811%28sqrt%283x%29+-+2%29%29%2F11


==> 8+=+sqrt%283x%29+-2


Add 2 to both sides of the equation.....


==> 8+%2B+2=+sqrt%283x%29+-2+%2B+2


==>+10+=+sqrt%283x%29



Square both sides of the equation...



==> 10%5E2+=+%28sqrt%283x%29%29%5E2



==> 100 = 3x

Divide both sides of the expression by 3



==> x = 100/3

==> x = 33.33


Hope you found the explanation useful....
