What is the answer to this eqaution (x - 4)2 = 36

x = 10                    x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 4)^2 = 36

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x - 4)^2) =±sqrt( 36)

x-4 = ±6

Separate into two equations

x-4 =6           x-4=-6

Add 4 to each side

x-4 +4 =6+4          x-4+4 = -6+4

x = 10                    x = -2

The answer is x = 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, we first have to simplify the left side of the equation.

To do this, we should distribute the 2 into the parentheses (this means multiplying each of the terms inside the parentheses by 2). If we do this, we get:

2x - 8 = 36

Next, we should add 8 to both sides in order to get the variable term isolated on the left side. If we do this, we get:

2x = 44

Then, we should divide both sides of the equation by 2 in order to get rid of the coefficient on the variable. This gives us:

x = 44/2 = 22

Therefore, your answer is that x = 22.

Hope this helps!

the final function for the graph becomes x-2=-1. before graphing you solve the equation, where x=1. then graph accordingly.   ( on the x-axis, 1 on the line will possess a vertical line.)
