You can put this solution on YOUR website! solve this equation 3√(x-2)-2√(x-5)=4
-----
Rearrange:
3*sqrt)(x-2) = 2sqrt(x-5) + 4
-------
Sqruare both sides:
9(x-2) = 4(x-5) + 16sqrt(x-5) + 16
------
9x-18 = 4x-20 + 16sqrt(x-5) + 16
------
Rearrange:
5x-14 = 16sqrt(x-5)
----
25x^2 -140x + 196 = 256(x-5)
-------
25x^2 -140x + 196 = 256x - 1280
-------
25x^2 -396x + 1476 = 0
----
x = 6 or x = 9.84
