Question

Solve (x - 5)2 = 3.

Answer 1

x = 5±√3

Explanation:

Equation: (x-5)² = 3

Step 1: Take the square root of both side of the equation

√(x-5)² = ±√3

x-5 = ±√3

Step 2: add 5 to both side of the equation

x-5+5 = 5±√3

x = 5±√3

Hence, from the options above, the right answer is

B. x = 5±√3
