Question

How do you solve the equation `sqrt(x-5)=2sqrt6`?

Answer 1

`x=29`

Explanation:

Square both sides to get rid of the square root. Note that you will have to square the `2` in front of the `sqrt6`:

`x-5=4(6)`

Simplify the right side:

`x-5=24`

Solve for `x` by adding `5` on both sides:

`x=29`
