Question

What is (x-5)1/2+5=2

Answer 1

For this case we have the following expression:
 (x-5) 1/2 + 5 = 2
 Rewriting correctly we have:
 (x-5) ^ (1/2) + 5 = 2
 Clearing x we have:
 (x-5) ^ (1/2) = 2-5
 (x-5) ^ (1/2) = -3
 (x-5) = root (-3)
 x = 5 + i * root (3)
 Answer:
 The value of x is given by:
 x = 5 + i * root (3)
