Question

(x+13)^2=25

Answer 1

You should take the square root of both sides. This will give you x+13=sqrt(25). Then subtract 13 from both sides.

Answer 2

In order to get rid of the ^2 you have to take the square root of both sides. What you do to one side you must do to the other. So square root the (x+13)^2 to get x+13. Square root the 25 to get the square root of 25. Then subtract 13 from both sides to get x=the square root of 25 minus x.
