%28x-1%29%5E2=6 Start with the given equation.


x-1=%22%22%2B-sqrt%286%29 Take the square root of both sides (don't forget about the plus/minus).


x-1=sqrt%286%29 or x-1=-sqrt%286%29 Break up the "plus/minus" to form two equations.


x=1%2Bsqrt%286%29 or x=1-sqrt%286%29 Add 1 to both sides.


--------------------------------------


Answer:


So the solutions are x=1%2Bsqrt%286%29 or x=1-sqrt%286%29.
