Or, did you mean

$$(x+7)^2=19\\\\
x+7 = \sqrt{19} \mbox{ or }x+7=-\sqrt{19}\\\\
x = \sqrt{19}-7 \mbox{ or }x=-\sqrt{19}-7\\\\$$

If this is what you meant then you should have used the superscipt button from the fromat heading to write the 2  OR you could write

(x+7)^2=19

The ^ (hat) means 'power of'.

19 halved is 9.5.

x+7=9.5.

x is 2.5.

$$\left({\mathtt{x}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{7}}\right){\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{2}} = {\mathtt{19}} = {\mathtt{x}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{5}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}}$$
