To solve the given equation, we want to find the value of x that satisfies the equation:
√(1 - x) = 2
To get rid of the square root, we can square both sides of the equation:
(√(1 - x))^2 = 2^2 1 - x = 4
Now, let's isolate x by bringing -x to the other side of the equation:
1 = 4 + x
Next, subtract 4 from both sides:
1 - 4 = x -3 = x
Therefore, the value of x that satisfies the equation √(1 - x) = 2 is x = -3.
