Question

Solve for xx. Express your answer in simplest radical form if necessary.
36, equals, x, squared
36=
x
2

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 36 = x^2 \), we will take the square root of both sides.

This gives us:

\[
x = \pm \sqrt{36}
\]

Calculating the square root of 36, we find:

\[
\sqrt{36} = 6
\]

Thus, the solutions for \( x \) are:

\[
x = 6 \quad \text{and} \quad x = -6
\]

So the final answer is:

\[
x = \pm 6
\]
