Answer :
Answer:
x = ±5
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 – 9 = 16
Add 9 to each side
x^2 – 9+9 = 16+9
x^2 = 25
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(25)
x = ±5
Answer:
[tex]x = 5 \: \: \: or \: \: x = - 5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] {x}^{2} - 9 = 16 \\ {x}^{2} = 16 + 9 \\ {x}^{2} = 25 \\ x = \sqrt{25} \\ x = 5 \\ x = - 5[/tex]
