Hey there!
-√4x = 100
WELL….
-√4 = -2
NEW EQUATION:
-2x = 100
DIVIDE -2 to BOTH SIDES
-2x/-2 = 100/-2
CANCEL out: -2/-2 because it give you 1
KEEP: 100/-2 because it help solve for the x-value (mainly give you it)
NEW EQUATION: x = 100/-2
SIMPLIFY IT!
x = -50
Therefore, your answer is: x = -50
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
