Greta is trying to solve the equation $x − 3\sqrt { x }= −2$. She decides to simplify the problem by letting $u =\sqrt { x }$.

1. Rewrite Greta’s equation using $u$, then solve for $u$.

   Hint (a):

   $\text{If }u=\sqrt{x},\text{ then }u^{2}=x .$

   Step 1(a):

   $x-3\sqrt{x}=-2$

   $u^2 - 3u = −2$
   Solve for $u$.

   Step 2(a):

   If $u = 2$ and $u = 1$, what is $x$?

2. If $x = 5$, what is the value of $u$?

   Hint (b):

   Refer to the given information.
