(t-108) -2[(t-108)(t+186)]^.5 +(t+186) = 4356
2 t + 78 - 4256 = 2[(t-108)(t+186)]^.5
t - 2089 = [(t-108)(t+186)]^.5
t^2 - 4178 t + 4363921 = t^2 + 78 t - 20088
4384009 = 4256 t
t = 102.9
check my arithmetic !!!
Solve for t:
√(t-108) - √(t+186) = 66

√(t-108) = √(t+186) + 66
square both sides
t-108 = t+186 + 2√(t+186) + 4356
-4650 = 2√(t+186)
by definition, √(any#) is positive, so your equation has no real solution.
