Question 6 • AZ-Common Core Algebra II A

Given (x – 7)2 = 36, select the values of x.

Answer
A
x = 13
B
x = 1
C
x = –29
D
x = 42

Explanation

The 2 means the expression is squared: (x − 7)² = 36. Taking the positive and negative square roots gives x − 7 = 6 or x − 7 = −6, so x = 13 or x = 1. These are choices A and B.
