Hi,'
If I am understanding the equation posted properly:
+%282%2F3%29%2A%28x-2%29+-+root%282%2C36%29%2F17+=+2
.
+%282%2F3%29%2A%28x-2%29+-+%286%2F17%29+=+2
.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3*17 to clear the demoninators.
34%2A%28x-2%29+-+18+=+102
.
Combine like terms and solve for x
34%2Ax-%2868%29+-+18+=+102
34%2Ax+=+188
