Solve Using the Square Root Property 5x^2=45

Problem

5*x2=45

Solution

1. Isolate the squared term by dividing both sides of the equation by 5

x2=45/5

x2=9

2. Apply the square root property by taking the square root of both sides, remembering to include both the positive and negative roots.

x=±√(,9)

3. Simplify the square root of the constant.

x=±3

Final Answer

x=±3
