sqrt%282x%2B3%29=2 Start with the given equation.


2x%2B3=2%5E2 Square both sides


2x%2B3=4 Square 2 to get 4


2x=4-3 Subtract 3 from both sides.


2x=1 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%281%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.

Solve for x:
sqrt%282x%2B3%29+=+2 Square both sides of the equation.
2x%2B3+=+4 Subtract 3 from both sides.
2x+=+1 Finally, divide both sides by 2.
x+=+1%2F2
