Answer:
You will select both x = 1 + 5sqrt(2) and x = 1 - 5sqrt(2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly you have to take the square root of both sides to get rid of the exponent. (x - 1)^2 = 50 becomes x - 1 = +- sqrt(50)
Then you simplify the right. x - 1 = +- 5sqrt(2)
The answer is both the positive and negative versions.
