Solve without using a calculator. Express your answer in simplified radical form.
(x – 2)2 = 3
%28x-2%29%5E2=3
sqrt%28%28x-2%29%5E2%29=%2B-sqrt%283%29
x-2=%2B-sqrt%283%29
x-2=sqrt%283%29 or x-2=-sqrt%283%29
x-2%2B2=2%2Bsqrt%283%29 or x-2%2B2=2-sqrt%283%29
x=2%2Bsqrt%283%29 or x=2-sqrt%283%29
Happy Calculating!!!
