Question

Solve the given equation

Answer 1

2+ x+8 =14

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.

x+8 +2−2=14−2

Subtracting 2 from itself leaves 0.

x+8 =14−2

Subtract 2 from 14.

x+8 =12

Square both sides of the equation.

x+8=144

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.

x+8−8=144−8

Subtracting 8 from itself leaves 0.

x=144−8

Subtract 8 from 144.

x=136

Explanation:

Answer 2

136

Explanation:

`2+√(x+8) =14\\√(x+8) =12\\x+8=144\\x=136`
