Solve (x-3)^2 =5 completing the square

x = 3 ± √5

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression (x - 3)² = 5 doesn't need completing the square to solve (this is the step after you finish completing the square):

Step 1: Square root both sides

x - 3 = ±√5

Step 2: Add 3 to both sides

x = 3 ± √5 = 0.76392, 5.23607

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to solve this equation for x

Either you develop (x-3)^2 and then solve the quadratic equation

Or you can solve it this way :

(X-3)^2= 5

x-3 = + or - root square 5

So x = 3+ or - root square 5

y=-2.5x+12.5

step-by-step explanation:

5y=2x+10

y=0.4x+2

slope=-2.5

5=-2.5*3+b

b=12.5
