Hi :)

I'd start by adding 5 to both sides of the equation. That would make the equation easier.

[tex]\boldsymbol{\sqrt{2x}-5=3}}[/tex]

[tex]\boldsymbol{\sqrt{2x}=2}[/tex]

The next step is to get rid of the radical sign.

Which operation will undo the square root? Squaring.

So that's why we square both sides:

[tex]\boldsymbol{2x=4}[/tex]

And Now we just divide both sides by 2

[tex]\boldsymbol{x=2}[/tex]
