Solve the equation by the square root property.
3%28x+-+2%29%5E2+=+18
divide both sides by 3
(x - 2)^2 = 6
find the square root of both sides
x+-+2+=+sqrt%286%29
x = sqrt%286%29%2B2

Hi  

Solve the equation by the square root property.

3(x - 2)^2 = 18   |Note  ^  used to indicate square

(x - 2)^2 = 6

(x-2) = ± √6

x = 2 ± √6

that is:

x = 2 + √6

0r

x = 2 - √6

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
