Question

I’m not sure if I’m suppose to include “x=___” in my answer or just put the answer in alone without including the variable. Please let me know which way is correct. I’m not sure if I’m writing out the problem wrong.

Answer 1

SOLUTION

Given the question in the inage on the question tab;

$(x-9)^2=2$$\begin{gathered} \sqrt{(x-9)^2}=\pm\sqrt{2} \\ x-9=\pm\sqrt{2} \\ x=\pm\sqrt{2}+9 \\ \therefore x=\sqrt{2}+9,\text{ -}\sqrt{2}+9 \\ \end{gathered}$

Final answer:

$x=\sqrt{2}+9,\text{ -}\sqrt{2}+9$
