n%5E2-6=0 Start with the given equation.


n%5E2=0%2B6Add 6 to both sides.


n%5E2=6 Combine like terms.


n=%22%22%2B-sqrt%286%29 Take the square root of both sides.


n=sqrt%286%29 or n=-sqrt%286%29 Break up the "plus/minus" to form two equations.


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


Answer:


So the solutions are n=sqrt%286%29 or n=-sqrt%286%29.
