2x^2 - 35 = 15
further directions from my Professor are as follows:
Make sure that your work is demonstrating the solving method given in the instructions. Use the Insert and Symbols menus in Word to present the radical √ and plus/minus � symbols. Remember that radicands must be enclosed within [ ]. Typing your work vertically is preferred but optional. If you choose to type horizontally, make sure you are appropriately using grouping symbols.

2x^2 - 35 = 15
;
I don't know what you instructions are, but here is one way to solve it:
Add 35 to both sides:
2x^2 = 15 + 35
2x^2 = 50
:
Divide both sides by 2:
=
x^2 = 25
:
Find the square root of both sides:
= +/-
x = +5
x = -5
:
Confirm your solutions by substituting both solutions in the original equation
