Answer:
x=4, x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2-16=0
Add 16 to both sides;
x^2-16+16=0+16
Simplify;
x^2=16
x=[tex]\sqrt{16}[/tex], x[tex]-\sqrt{16}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{16}[/tex]
=4
factor the number;16
[tex]\sqrt{4^2}[/tex]
=[tex]\sqrt{4}[/tex]
-[tex]\sqrt{16}[/tex]
Factor the number 16;
[tex]\sqrt{4^2}[/tex]
=-4
