Rearranging equation to find back gate bias

[OnceMore]

Hello,

I am having a bit of an issues rearranging an equation for my solid state electronics class. I seem to have a mental block with this sort of stuff, so I am hoping someone can help.

The equation is

0.34 = 1.05((0.64 + |V_BS|)^1/2 - (0.64)^1/2)

I know the usual stuff, like + to a - when moving across the equals sign, so it is more the power and what have you.

Thanks in advance.

Divide both sides by 1.05.
Simplify √0.64, and then add that amount to both sides.
Continue from there.

Thanks!

That did it ...for some reason, I was multiplying 1.05 by the bracket, and going from there ...which was just making things complicated.

Again, thanks!
