Answer

Finally, solve for x by subtracting 2 from both sides: \(x = 9 - 2\)

Steps

Step 1 ：First, isolate the square root term on one side of the equation: \(\sqrt{x + 2} = 3\)

Step 2 ：Next, square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root: \((\sqrt{x + 2})^2 = 3^2\) which simplifies to \(x + 2 = 9\)

Step 3 ：Finally, solve for x by subtracting 2 from both sides: \(x = 9 - 2\)
