Question 63908This question is from textbook intermediate algebra
: solve using the square property:
please tell me if I solved this problem correctly.
(x+6)^2=121
x+6=sqrt121
x+6=11
x=6+11
x=17


x-6= -sqrt121
x-6= -11
x=6-11
x= -5
x= 17, -5This question is from textbook intermediate algebra

please tell me if I solved this problem correctly.
(x+6)^2=121
x+6=sqrt121 or x+6=-sqrt121
x+6=11 or x+6=-11
x=11-6 or x=-11-6
x=5 or x=-17
