To solve the equation \(2\sqrt{x} + 13 = 27\), we first isolate the square root.
-
Subtract 13 from both sides: \[ 2\sqrt{x} = 27 - 13 \] \[ 2\sqrt{x} = 14 \]
-
Next, divide by 2: \[ \sqrt{x} = \frac{14}{2} \] \[ \sqrt{x} = 7 \]
-
Finally, square both sides to solve for \(x\): \[ x = 7^2 \] \[ x = 49 \]
The value of \(x\) that makes the equation true is \(\boxed{49}\).
