Answer:

x = 27 is the solution to the equation of √(2x + 10) - 6 = 2

Explanation:

√(2x + 10) - 6 = 2

+6 +6

-----------------------------

√2x + 10 = 8

2x + 10 = 8^2

2x + 10 = 64

-10 -10

------------------------------

2x = 54

/2 /2

-------------------------------

x = 27

the first thing you do is add 6 to both sides. you get sqrt(2x+10)=8
then you square each side. you get (2x+10)=8^2 8^2=64
then you subtract 10 from both sides. you get 2x=54
then you divide both sides by 2. you get x=27

I hope I helped
