Question 903740: Find all real solutions, did I do this correctly?
4+√(x-2)=x
√(x-2)=x-4
x-2=(x-4)^2
x-2=x^2 - 8x +16
x-2-x^2+8x-16=0
x^2+9x-18=0
-(x-3)(x-6)=0
so the answer is: +3,+6
Is there a easier way to solve these type of problems? Thanks

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you did it right.
no there isn't an easier way.
you did it the way it's supposed to be done.
