How do I solve X to the second power -55 equals 26
Answer:
x= 9 x= -9
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation: x^2-55=26
Move -55 to the other side - x^2=55+26 = X^2 = 81
Solve - x^2=81 - 9^2 = 81 and -9^2=81 (a negative squared becomes a positive)
Answer:
Solutions x= 9 and -9
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2-55=26
x^2=55+26
x^2=81
(take square root of both sides)
x=9
(squaring negatives is the same as squaring the same positive)
x also=-9
