Question 992017: I am trying to solve an equation in which a radical is = to a variable expression but I am having problems. I would like to ask for your help.
After I square off both sides, I get
On the left of the equal sign, the squares cancel out and if I multiply (x-2)(x-2) my problem now looks like this:
4x+13=x^2-4x+4
To continue solving, do I collect all terms to the right or to the left? This is my confusion, I hope you can help me.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Yes, you do. You do not forget properties of numbers nor properties of equality that you have already studied and learned. They are still in effect.
