%286x%2B7%29%5E2=10 Start with the given equation.


6x%2B7=%22%22%2B-sqrt%2810%29 Take the square root of both sides.


6x%2B7=sqrt%2810%29 or 6x%2B7=-sqrt%2810%29 Break up the "plus/minus" to form two equations.


6x=-7%2Bsqrt%2810%29 or 6x=-7-sqrt%2810%29 Subtract 7 from both sides.


x=%28-7%2Bsqrt%2810%29%29%2F6 or x=%28-7-sqrt%2810%29%29%2F6 Divide both sides by 6.

Answer:


So the solutions are x=%28-7%2Bsqrt%2810%29%29%2F6 or x=%28-7-sqrt%2810%29%29%2F6.
