Solve x2 = 144. @Hero

OpenStudy (asevilla5):

divide 144 by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=12,-12

OpenStudy (asevilla5):

and you should get 72

OpenStudy (imstuck):

You don't divide 144 by 2, that only gives you 72. You have to take the square root of 144, ike @Roxeyrai73 did.

OpenStudy (imstuck):

I believe that is an x^2, not a 2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is -12

OpenStudy (imstuck):

AS @Roxeyrai73 said, you should get 12 and -12.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):
