Hi there! Use the difference of two squares formula to solve the problem below:


\large \boxed{ {x}^(2) - {y}^(2) = (x + y)(x - y)}

From the equation, 64 comes from 8². Thus,


\large{ {x}^(2) - 64 = 0} \\ \large{(x + 8)(x - 8) = 0}

The question also asks you to solve for all real values. Thus,


\large{x = 8, - 8}

Answer

  • x = 8,-8 are the real solutions to x²-64 = 0.
