Question

Find the solutions of the quadratic equation by finding the square root: x2 - 3 = 7.

Answer 1

x = - √10, and x =√10

Explanation:

1. Let us add 3 to either side of the equation: x^2 - 3 + 3 = 7 + 3

2. That equation would simplify to: x^2 = 10

3. Now let us take the square root on either side: √x^2 = √10

4. Being square root of x^2, we could say that: | x | = √10

5. And thus 2 answer may be derived from this equation provided absolute value symbol ( | | ): x = - √10, and x =√10
