−8
−x
2
x
2
=−33
=−25
=25
Hint #22 / 3
Now we can take the square root of both sides, not forgetting to take both the positive and negative roots of the right-hand side:
\begin{aligned} \sqrt{x^2}&=\sqrt{25} \\\\ x&=\pm 5 \end{aligned}
x
2
x
=
25
=±5
Hint #33 / 3
In conclusion,
\begin{aligned} \text{lesser }x &= -5 \\\\ \text{greater } x &= 5 \end{aligned}
lesser x
greater x
=−5
=5
