## sophiasmommy94 What is the solution to the equation? √2x+10-6 = 2 one year ago one year ago

1. Mertsj

$\sqrt{2x+10}-6=2$

2. Mertsj

Is that the problem?

3. sophiasmommy94

yeah

take 6 to the RHS and add the no.s . then square both LHS n RHS. hope it helps..

6. sophiasmommy94

i don't understand what you mean?

7. rosedewittbukater

first add 6 to both sides to get $\sqrt{2x+10}=8$ Then square both sides to get rid of the square root sign. $\sqrt{2x+10}^{2}=8^{2}$ Then you will have $2x+10=64$ Then you have to get x by itself. So subtract 10 from both sides to get $2x=54$ Finally, divide both sides by 2 to get $x=27$

so x=27?

10. rosedewittbukater

You can check your work by pluggin back in 27 for x. $\sqrt{2(27)+10}-6=2$ Simplify $\sqrt{54+10}-6=2$ $\sqrt{64}-6=2$ $8-6=2$ $2=2$ Since 2 does equal 2, the solution is correct.

Yes, x=27

Okay, thank you girls! You both helped out a lot!!
