x%5E2%2B%283-2%29=0
x%5E2%2B1=0
If you move the 1 over to the right, you'd get:
x%5E2=-1 ...which is not possible.
No number raised to the second power equals a negative number.
The only exception is if you're working with imaginary numbers.
In which case the answer would be...
x = sqrt -1 ...same as... x = sqrt of i
