Do you understand that you have to still solve it @elvisiscool69? @SolomonZelman helped you to get started.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
11^2 = 121
OpenStudy (elvisiscool69):
i dont get it
OpenStudy (elvisiscool69):
im serious about not knowing anything about math

Do you understand what the first post is saying?
OpenStudy (rose4825):
He moved the 0 over to the other side to start solving for x
OpenStudy (elvisiscool69):
kinda
OpenStudy (elvisiscool69):
yea i get that part
OpenStudy (rose4825):
Now you have x^2 = 121

to get rid of the squared part you have to square-root both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x^2 = 121 = 11^2
x = 11
OpenStudy (rose4825):
The second post showed you that when you square both sides you get that the square-root of 121 is 11
OpenStudy (elvisiscool69):
so 121^2=11?
OpenStudy (rose4825):
So x would equal 11

so its c
OpenStudy (rose4825):
no... \[\sqrt{x ^{2}} = \sqrt{121}\]
OpenStudy (rose4825):
x = 11
OpenStudy (rose4825):
and yes the correct answer is C
OpenStudy (elvisiscool69):
life saver!!!!

Congratulations.

@SolomonZelman has shown you the most simplest way of doing the problem. The only thing you need to understand is that to remove the 2 on top of the x, you have to square-root the x. And what you do to one side, you have to do to the other. So when you square-rooted x, you also square-rooted 121, and got your final answer; 11
