(x-3)^2=64
(x - 3)² = 64
Find the square root of both sides: (don't forget to use the ± sign)
x - 3 = ± 8
So, either x - 3 = 8 or x - 3 = -8 (now add 3 to both sides)
x = 11 or x = -5
is ^ multiplying? if so...
use distributive property even though the 2 is behind the parentheses
2x - 6 = 64
now add 6 to both sides
2x = 70
now divide by 2 on both sides
x = 35
and there's your answer!
no its a power?!
oh... okay sorry! i guess my class isnt there yet (im in algebra 1 too)
oh yeah we're doing sqaure root methods... lol!
i hate alegbra i have a high D
