Question

What value of x makes this equation true? x2−6=10 Drag and drop the number that correctly completes the equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = ±4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write quadratic

x² - 6 = 10

Step 2: Solve for x

Add 6 to both sides: x² = 16

Square root both sides: x = ±4 or x = -4, 4

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify if it's a solution.

(-4)² - 6 = 10

16 - 6 = 10

10 = 10

(4)² - 6 = 10

16 - 6 = 10

10 = 10
