Do you mean x%5E2-32=0 ???



x%5E2-32=0 Start with the given equation.


x%5E2=0%2B32 Add 32 to both sides.


x%5E2=32 Combine like terms.


x=0%2B-sqrt%2832%29 Take the square root of both sides.


x=sqrt%2832%29 or x=-sqrt%2832%29 Break up the "plus/minus" to form two equations.


x=4%2Asqrt%282%29 or x=-4%2Asqrt%282%29 Simplify the square root.


--------------------------------------


Answer:


So the solutions are x=4%2Asqrt%282%29 or x=-4%2Asqrt%282%29.
