No, I answered the question exactly as written.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(x2\neq x^2\)

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

you are taking x2 to mean 2x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(x2=2x,x2\neq x^2\)

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

the fact that the question mentions "square root method" I think we can forgive the asker a little
