how do i solve for this problem?

Xsquared-10=0

x^2 - 10 = 0

Add 10 to both sides, then get the square root of both sides.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

x^2-10=0

x^2=10 (add 10 to both sides)
x= 3.16 (square root of 10)

.
x^2=10
x = ± √10
= ± 3.16

the height of a ladder is 17.4 feet

the bottom of the ladder is 4.5 feet from the base of the wall
what is the length of the wall

To solve the equation X^2 - 10 = 0, you'll need to move the constant term (-10) to the other side of the equation by adding 10 to both sides. This will give you X^2 = 10.

Next, to isolate X, you can take the square root of both sides of the equation. Remember that when taking the square root, it's important to consider both the positive and negative square root values. Taking the square root of both sides gives you X = ± √10.

Hence, the solutions to the equation X^2 - 10 = 0 are X = √10 and X = -√10.
