Radical Equation with Solution:
Since this equation is
in the form "(square root) = (number)", I can proceed directly
to squaring both sides:
x – 2 = 25
x = 27 This solution matches
what I would expect from the graph of the two sides of the equation:
As you can see above,
the lines:
y = 5 ...intersect at x = 27, as the algebra
had already shown me. Checking, I get:So the solution is x = 27.
