In order to determine the value of x, we need to take the square root of both sides of the equation. In this case, we will not get a nice integer, instead we will get a decimal result. But that's ok... it doesn't mean that is wrong, it is just uncommon. Most problems are setup in such a way to yield whole numbers (integers).
