Question

Solve the equation using square roots. x^2-15=34

Answer 1

X^2-15=34 add 15 to both sides
X^2=49 square both sides
X=7

Answer 2

Hello there!

First, let's take a look at our equation.

`x^(2)` - 15 = 34
We need to isolate x^2 to completely square root both sides properly, so let's do so.
Add 15 to both sides to isolate
`x^(2)`.

We are now left with:

`x^(2)` = 49
Now, square root both sides.

`√(x^2)` = x

`√(49)` = 7

We are now left with the solution:
x = 7

I hope this helps!
