Use the zero product property to find the solutions to the equation x2 – 9 = 16.
x= -3 or x = 3
x= -6 or x = -3
Ox= -5 or x = 5
O x= 7 or x = 1

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]

hope this helps
