Answer 1

x=32

Explanation:

When you set up the problem it would be:

x(2)-64=0.

(Add 64 to the other side as the inverse)

x(2)=64

(Divide by 2 to have the isolated variable.)

x=32

Answer 2

Your other solution is -8

Explanation:

Ignore the 8 for solving and solve it yourself

so how to solve:

x²-64 = 0 <- Rewrite

(x+8)(x-8) = 0 <-Factor (this is a difference of two perfect squares)

x+8 = 0 and x-8=0 <- Get the equations alone and solve

-8 -8 +8 +8

x = -8 and x=8
