Solve (x – 4)^2=5
Hhhhhbb

Answer 1

x = 4 + sqrt(5) or x = 4 - sqrt(5)

Explanation:

Solve for x:

(x - 4)^2 = 5

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 4 = sqrt(5) or x - 4 = -sqrt(5)

Add 4 to both sides:

x = 4 + sqrt(5) or x - 4 = -sqrt(5)

Add 4 to both sides:

Answer: x = 4 + sqrt(5) or x = 4 - sqrt(5)
