Put the steps in order for solving the equation.

Question

x^2 + 4 = 53

Answer 1

1. Start with the equation x^2 + 4 = 53.
2. Subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the x^2 term: x^2 = 49.
3. Take the square root of both sides to solve for x: x = ±√49.
4. Simplify to find the two possible solutions: x = ±7.
