x^{2} = 100

$x^{2} = 100$

Step 1

Take the specified root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.

x = \pm \sqrt{100}

$x = \pm \sqrt{100}$

Step 2

Simplify

\pm \sqrt{100}

$\pm \sqrt{100}$ .

Step 2.1

Rewrite

100

$100$ as

10^{2}

$10^{2}$ .

x = \pm \sqrt{10^{2}}

$x = \pm \sqrt{10^{2}}$

Step 2.2

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.

x = \pm 10

$x = \pm 10$

x = \pm 10

$x = \pm 10$

Step 3

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

Step 3.1

First, use the positive value of the

\pm

$\pm$ to find the first solution.

x = 10

$x = 10$

Step 3.2

Next, use the negative value of the

\pm

$\pm$ to find the second solution.

x = - 10

$x = - 10$

Step 3.3

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

x = 10, - 10

$x = 10, - 10$

x = 10, - 10

$x = 10, - 10$

x^{2} = 100

$x^{2} = 100$
