log%28pi%2C%28e%29%29=x%5E2 Start with the given equation.


%22%22%2B-sqrt%28log%28pi%2C%28e%29%29%29=x Take the square root of both sides (don't forget about the plus/minus)


x=sqrt%28log%28pi%2C%28e%29%29%29 or x=-sqrt%28log%28pi%2C%28e%29%29%29 Break up the plus/minus to form two equations.


So the solutions are x=sqrt%28log%28pi%2C%28e%29%29%29 or x=-sqrt%28log%28pi%2C%28e%29%29%29
