\left(2x-3\right)^{2}-39+39=2+39
Add 39 to both sides of the equation.
\left(2x-3\right)^{2}=2+39
Subtracting 39 from itself leaves 0.
\left(2x-3\right)^{2}=41
Add 2 to 39.
2x-3=\sqrt{41} 2x-3=-\sqrt{41}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
2x-3-\left(-3\right)=\sqrt{41}-\left(-3\right) 2x-3-\left(-3\right)=-\sqrt{41}-\left(-3\right)
Add 3 to both sides of the equation.
2x=\sqrt{41}-\left(-3\right) 2x=-\sqrt{41}-\left(-3\right)
Subtracting -3 from itself leaves 0.
2x=\sqrt{41}+3
Subtract -3 from \sqrt{41}.
2x=3-\sqrt{41}
Subtract -3 from -\sqrt{41}.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{41}+3}{2} \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{3-\sqrt{41}}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{\sqrt{41}+3}{2} x=\frac{3-\sqrt{41}}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
