Question

96=x^2-4

Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable x by rearranging the equation.

96 = x^2 - 4

First, we add 4 to both sides of the equation to move the constant term to the right side:

96 + 4 = x^2 - 4 + 4

100 = x^2

Next, we can take the square root of both sides to eliminate the exponent of 2:

√100 = √x^2

10 = x

So the solution to the equation 96 = x^2 - 4 is x = 10.
