solve. the square root of 44-2x = x-10
44-2x=x-10
subtract 44 from both sides
-2x= x-54
subtract x from both sides
-3x= -54
divide by -3
x= 18
square root of 18= 4.24
in radical form 3 square root of 2
hope this helps
sqrt(44 - 2x) = x - 10
44 - 2x = (x - 10)^2 = x^2 - 20x +100
0 = 1x^2 - 18x + 66
yikes! quadratic formula
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
a = 1
b = -18
c = 66
x = [-b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)]/(2a)
x = [18 ± sqrt((-18)^2 - 4(1)(66))]/(2(1))
x = 12.873 or 5.127
