Solve the equation using square roots.

Question

x^2- 14 = -10

Answer 1

To solve the equation x^2 - 14 = -10 using square roots, we isolate x^2 by moving -14 to the right side:

x^2 = -10 + 14
x^2 = 4

Taking the square root of both sides:

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(4)
x = ±2

So the solution to the equation is x = 2 or x = -2.
