Question

(20 points) Find x: (x−2)^2=25 pls show steps so I understand lol

Answer 1

Answer:

(-3, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so first take the square root of both sides, so you get (x-2)=5, since the square root gets rid of the power, and the square root of 25, is 5, and since we did a square root, we also have to do the - + thing, so the equation really is now x-2=(+-)5

subtract 2 from both sides, and you get x=(+-)5+2

Solving for x we get -5+2=-3

and also

5+2=7 since there was a positive, and a negative 5.

therefore x would equal (-3, 7)

hope this helps, please mark as brainliest.
