1. Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign: root2x+10=2+6 2. Add 2+6: root2x+10=8 3. Square both sides of the equation: 2x+10=64 4. Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign: 2x=64-10 5. Subtract 64-10: 2x=55 6. Divide both sides of the equation by 2: 54 divided by 2=27 so this means X=27
