What is (x-5) 1/2+5=2

For this case we have the following expression:

(x-5) 1/2 + 5 = 2

Rewriting correctly we have:

(x-5) ^ (1/2) + 5 = 2

Clearing x we have:

(x-5) ^ (1/2) = 2-5

(x-5) ^ (1/2) = - 3

(x-5) = root (-3)

x = 5 + i * root (3)

Answer:

The value of x is given by:

x = 5 + i * root (3)
