First, I would recommend squaring both sides.
4^2=x-3^2
Then, I would solve the square roots.
16=x-9
Then, add 9 to both sides
9+16=x-9+9
Finally,
x=25
I hope I helped!

Square both sides.

Add 9 to both sides.

That will solve exactly what you have written.

But if you really meant:



Then

Square both sides.

Take the square root of both sides, remembering to consider both the positive and negative roots.

Solve the two resulting equations by adding 3 to both sides of each equation.
