To solve the equation: 4x^2= 100 ______ you would use the inverse operation to get the equation: x^2=25. You would then use the inverse operation ______ to get x = _______ because both values make the equation true when you substitute in for x in the original equation.

1 answer

To solve the equation 4x^2 = 100, you would first divide both sides by 4 to get x^2 = 25.

Next, you would take the square root of both sides to solve for x. Since x^2 = 25, x could be both 5 and -5 because both values squared equal 25.

Therefore, the values of x that make the equation true when substituted in are x = 5 and x = -5.
