Is q = 90 a solution to this equation?

Question

q
2
= 232
Yes or no

Answer 1

To determine if \( q = 90 \) is a solution to the equation \( q^2 = 232 \), we need to substitute 90 for \( q \) and see if the equation holds true.

Calculating \( 90^2 \):

\[ 90^2 = 8100 \]

Now, we compare it to 232:

\[ 8100 \neq 232 \]

Since \( 90^2 \) does not equal 232, the answer is no, \( q = 90 \) is not a solution to the equation \( q^2 = 232 \).
