(x - 1)2 = 4
how do i do this

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 1)2 = 4

how to get this solved is very simple.

first step to apply is the BODMAS RULE

B bracket

O of

DDivision

M multiplication

A addition

S Subtraction

so (x - 1)2 = 4

we have,

2x - 2 = 4 ( by opening the bracket)

collect the like terms

2x = 4+2

divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 6/2

x = 3

to check if your answer is correct put the value of x = 3 into the question and see if the right hand side will equal to the left handside

(x - 1)2 = 4

(3-1)2=4

2(2)=4

4=4 proved
