x2=36
x2=36
x2=36
Take the square root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.
x=±36
Simplify the right side of the equation.
Rewrite 36 as 62.
x=±62
Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.
x=±6
x=±6
The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.
First, use the positive value of the ± to find the first solution.
x=6
Next, use the negative value of the ± to find the second solution.
x=-6
The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.
x=6,-6
x=6,-6
x=6,-6
Solve Using the Square Root Property 24=x*2/3*x
