Problem

x−2

Solution

1. Identify the expression as a linear binomial with no common numerical or variable factors.

2. Apply the concept of factoring over real numbers using square roots, treating the expression as a difference of squares where x=(√(,x))2 and 2=(√(,2))2

3. Rewrite the expression using the difference of squares formula a2−b2=(a−b)*(a+b)

Final Answer

x−2=(√(,x)−√(,2))*(√(,x)+√(,2))
