It seems you're presenting me a simple algebraic equation that you'd like to solve for x. The equation is:
x^2 + 5 = 7
To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side. Here's how we do it step by step:
- First, we can subtract 5 from both sides to get the x^2 term by itself:
x^2 + 5 - 5 = 7 - 5 x^2 = 2
- Now, to solve for x, we have to take the square root of both sides of the equation:
√(x^2) = √(2)
x = ±√(2)
So, the solutions for the equation x^2 + 5 = 7 are:
x = √(2) ≈ 1.414 and x = -√(2) ≈ -1.414
Remember, when you take the square root of both sides of an equation, you must consider both the positive and negative roots since squaring either a positive or negative number yields a positive result.
