(x-2)^2=13
x=____ ~aprox ____
x=____ ~aprox ____ Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (x-2)^2=13
find the square root of both sides
x - 2 = +/-
add 2 to both sides
x = 2 + approx 5.61
and
x = 2 - approx -1.61

Check in original problem
(5.61-2)^2 = 13.03 because of rounding off
and
(-1.62-2)^2 = 13.03
