Question 765418
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ -\ 1\ =\ \sqrt{2x\ -\ 6}]


Square both sides


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x^2\ -\ 2x\ +\ 1\ =\ 2x\ -\ 6]


Collect terms to standard form:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x^2\ -\ 4x\ +\ 7\ =\ 0]


Use the quadratic formula.  Note:  *[tex \LARGE 16\ -\ 28\ <\ 0], therefore you have a conjugate pair of complex roots.
