6\left(x-7\right)^{2}-72+72=72
Add 72 to both sides of the equation.
6\left(x-7\right)^{2}=72
Subtracting 72 from itself leaves 0.
\frac{6\left(x-7\right)^{2}}{6}=\frac{72}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
\left(x-7\right)^{2}=\frac{72}{6}
Dividing by 6 undoes the multiplication by 6.
\left(x-7\right)^{2}=12
Divide 72 by 6.
x-7=2\sqrt{3} x-7=-2\sqrt{3}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x-7-\left(-7\right)=2\sqrt{3}-\left(-7\right) x-7-\left(-7\right)=-2\sqrt{3}-\left(-7\right)
Add 7 to both sides of the equation.
x=2\sqrt{3}-\left(-7\right) x=-2\sqrt{3}-\left(-7\right)
Subtracting -7 from itself leaves 0.
x=2\sqrt{3}+7
Subtract -7 from 2\sqrt{3}.
x=7-2\sqrt{3}
Subtract -7 from -2\sqrt{3}.
x=2\sqrt{3}+7 x=7-2\sqrt{3}
The equation is now solved.
