sqrt x-5=9 and 3 to the sqrt of x-4-2=10

sqrt%28x-5%29=9+ Start with the given equation


x-5=81+ Square both sides


x=86+ Add 5 to both sides


So our answer is x=86+





sqrt%28x-4%29-2=10+ Start with the given equation


sqrt%28x-4%29=12+ Add 2 to both sides


x-4=144+ Square both sides


x=148+ Add 4 to both sides


So our answer is x=148+
