You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(x=2)^2=16 You mis-typed this. I'm going to make the first = a -. If you meant +, you can probably figure out how to solve it from this any way.
%28x-2%29%5E2=16
sqrt%28%28x-2%29%5E2%29=+\-sqrt%2816%29
x-2=+\-4
x-2=2+\-4
x=2-4 and x=2+4
x=-2 and x=6
Happy Calculating!!!
