Question 86776: I'm not sure if I'm on the right track to solving this quadratic equation...hopefully you can help!
The original equation is: 2(x-5)^2=3.
I think that after factoring and re-writing the equation it would look like this: 2x^2-20x+47, is that right?
Then, to go from there, I'm not really sure...any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Very good... you are on the right track.
Now finish solving by using x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
