Answer:

No real solutions.

Explanation:

We have been given an equation
x^2+10=9. We are asked to solve our given equation by using square roots.

First of all, we will subtract 10 from both sides of our given equation.


x^2+10-10=9-10


x^2=-1

We can see that the square of
x is a negative number that is
-1.

We know that square of a real number cannot be negative, therefore, our given equation has no real solutions.
