• x = 16

• x = 8

• squaring both sides

• taking the square root of both sides

• x = 7

• x = 98

• x = 2401

• squaring both sides

• taking the square root of both sides

• x = 5

• x = 50

• x = 625

• squaring both sides

• taking the square root of both sides

• x = 12

• x = 288

• x = 20,736

• squaring both sides

What is the first step to solve this equation?

• Add 6 to both sides

• Square both sides

• Square root both sides

x² = 64

• x = 8

• x = 32

• x = -8, 8

• x = -32, 32

• square both sides
