Question

Write out the steps to find the solutions for the following quadratic: (x-2)^2 = 25

Answer 1

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with (x-2)² = 25

First, square root both sides to get rid of the square on the left. You'll get:

x-2 = 5

Add 2 to both sides to get x alone. You'll get:

x=7

Check your answer by filling in 7 for x:

(7-2)² = 25

(5)² = 25

25 = 25
