To solve the equation \( x^2 + 4 = 53 \), the steps should be ordered as follows:

Step 1: Add 4 to both sides
Step 2: Take the square root of both sides
Step 3: Simplify - you get two rational solutions

So, the correct order is:

  • Step 1: Add 4 to both sides
  • Step 2: Take the square root of both sides
  • Step 3: Simplify - you get two rational solutions
