Solve for x.

x² = 144

Enter your answers in the boxes. Enter the smaller answer first.
x = and x =

Answer 1

X^2 = 144
Square root of x^2 = x
So, square root x and square root 144 and you get x = -12 and x = 12

Answer 2

x = -12 and x = 12.

Explanation:

To solve for x, we need to take the square root of both sides of the equation:

x² = 144

√(x²) = √144

since sqaure root gives both positive and neagtive value, so

x = ±12

So the solutions for x are x = -12 and x = 12.
