\begin{gathered} x^2=40 \\ \end{gathered}

To solve this, you need to make this

Step 1

square root in both sides


\begin{gathered} x^2=40 \\ √(x^2)=√(40) \\ \text{the }√(\square)\text{ is eliminated by the exponent} \\ x=√(40) \end{gathered}

Now, the two solutions for this are.


\begin{gathered} x=√(40) \\ x=-√(40) \\ \\ \end{gathered}

so, the answer is


x=\pm√(40)

I hope it helps you.
