It looks like you've solved the equation \( x^2 = 16 \) correctly!
To summarize, the process is as follows:
1. Start with the equation:
\[ x^2 = 16 \]
2. Take the square root of both sides:
\[ x = \sqrt{16} \quad \text{or} \quad x = -\sqrt{16} \]
3. Simplify the square root:
\[ x = 4 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -4 \]
So the solutions to the equation \( x^2 = 16 \) are indeed \( x = 4 \) and \( x = -4 \). If you have any further questions or a specific context for this equation, feel free to ask!
