To solve the quadratic equation using square roots, we need to isolate the squared term on one side of the equation.
Starting with (x+36)² - 38 = 251, we can begin by adding 38 to both sides to move it to the other side:
(x+36)² = 289
Next, we can take the square root of both sides to eliminate the squared term:
x+36 = ±√289
√289 can be simplified to 17, so we have:
x+36 = ±17
To solve for x, we subtract 36 from both sides of the equation:
x = -36 ± 17
This gives us two possible solutions:
x = -36 + 17 = -19
x = -36 - 17 = -53
So the solutions to the quadratic equation are x = -19 and x = -53.
Therefore, the correct response is: {−19,−53}.

Use the Zero Product Property to find the value of x that makes the following statement true: 2⋅(x−3)=0 .(1 point) The value that makes the statement true is x= .
To use the Zero Product Property to find the value of x that makes 2⋅(x−3)=0 true, we set each factor equal to zero and solve for x.
The two factors in this equation are 2 and (x-3). So we have:
2 = 0 or x-3 = 0
Since the equation 2 = 0 is not true, we can ignore it.
To solve the equation x-3 = 0, we add 3 to both sides of the equation:
x - 3 + 3 = 0 + 3
This simplifies to:
x = 3
Therefore, the value that makes the statement true is x = 3.
