Question

Gabriel was asked to solve x2−36=0
by factoring using the difference of squares pattern. What is/are the correct solution(s)?(1 point)

x=6


x=18
, x=−18


x=−6


x=6
, x=−6

Answer 1

x^2 − 36 = 0
Factor: (x − 6)(x + 6) = 0
So x − 6 = 0 or x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6 or x = −6

Answer: x = 6, x = −6.
