(x-4)^2 - 28= 8 add 28 to both sides
(x - 4)^2 =8+28
(x - 4)^2 = 36 take the square root of both sides
x - 4 = +or-6
x - 4 = 6 add 4 to both sides
x = 10 - this is one solution
x - 4 = - 6 add 4 to both sides
x = - 6 + 4
x = - 2 - this is the 2nd solution
It has 2 solution because it is a quadratic equation!.
