Question

Which technique is most appropriate to solve this equation?

x2 + 6= 31
Question 2 options:

quadratic formula


zero product property


square root property

Answer 1

Square root property

Explanation:

The given equation is :

`x^2+6=31`

We need to write the most appropriated technique to solve the above equation.

Subtracting both sides of the above equation by 6 such that,

`x^2+6-6=31-6\\\\x^2=25`

Now taking square root on both sides we get :

`x=√(25)`

The square root property is used here, such that the value of x is :

`x=\pm 5`
