Step 2.1

Rewrite

$2.25$ as

${1.5}^{2}$ .

$n = \pm \sqrt{{1.5}^{2}}$

Step 2.2

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

$n = \pm 1.5$

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

$\pm$ to find the first solution.

$n = 1.5$

Step 3.2

Next, use the negative value of the

$\pm$ to find the second solution.

$n = - 1.5$

Step 3.3

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

$n = 1.5, - 1.5$
