x = 3
Explanation:
1. Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the square root.
2. To get rid of the square root, square both sides.
3. Subtract 1 from both sides to find x.
Now that we know that x = 3, check the solution by plugging its value back into the original equation.
The solution, x = 3, works!
