undo the squaring, then solve the remaining linear equation

also not uni level in the slightest

[spring olive]

just...square root both sides and subtract 2??????

Well im doing a bachelor so my bad i cant do basic math 😭

[stark swift]

dont echo

[hidden field]

Ok so im gonna send yall step by step okay

And tell me when i go wrong

[stark swift]

sure ig

[stark swift]

wrong

[hidden field]

Oh

[stark swift]

it's +-sqrt(3)

[hidden field]

So just add +-

[stark swift]

yes

just like in grade 10 when you likely started learning quadratics

[hidden field]

😦

Ok look I know im bad at math but my exam is in 2 weeks

Is that enough to learn calculus 3

Or am I cooked

😭😭😭😭

[stark swift]

if you forget high school math, I wouldnt recommend going past at least calc 1 tbh

[hidden field]

I might drop out

…

Is this decent

[stark swift]

sure

[hidden field]

nothing went wrong

you just didnt simplify

and again, post high school questions in #1015578016606343218

[hidden field]

Im in university bro 😭

Studying for a bachelor in science

[stark swift]

you're not asking uni questions

[hidden field]

☹️

I really appreciate the help nonetheless

I still dont get how it simplifies

[spring olive]

wdym "simplifies"

[stark swift]

can you not?

[stark swift]

$\sqrt{8}=\sqrt{4\cdot 2}=2\sqrt{2}$

[blazing berry]

Omegabet_

[stark swift]

alternatively from the start it's clear $(6-2x)^2=4(3-x)^2$

[blazing berry]

Omegabet_

[stark swift]

hence you're solving $(3-x)^2=2$

OH I totally forgot abt this tysm

[hidden field]

Thread

☹️

[spring olive]

[stark swift]

No, as the one helping

[hidden field]

^3 is one step too hard 😭😭😭

[stark swift]

it isnt

nor should it be

[hidden field]

Oh okay

[stark swift]

just take cube roots.

again, it's high school math

[hidden field]

Wait lemme translate that

[stark swift]

go on khan if you need to review it

[hidden field]

Sorry english is like my fourth langauge

[hidden field]

What is Khan

[stark swift]

Khan academy

[hidden field]

Okayy

[stark swift]

it's a cube root, there's no +-

even roots have +- for the obvious reason from looking at the graphs
