How do I solve for a squared variable that is on one side of the equation and under a one?

Multiply both sides of the equation by x^2 to get: 59(x^2) = 1
Then divide both sides by 59 to get: x^2 = 1/59
Finally, take the square root of both sides to get: x = sqrt(59)...Show more

Under a 1 means it's a denominator. A fraction.

First, multiply both sides of the equation by x^2 to get

59x^2=1

The divide by the coefficient. In this case, 59

x^2 = 1/59

Take the square root of both sides and you're done!...Show more

your supposed to take the square root of one of the numbers on both side for example

59(sr) = 1/x^2(sr)
using the square root symbol you get rid of the exponent to simplify the 59(because it is not a perfect square)however the 59 is a number i can even quickly figure out numbers that multiply together to get 59...Show more
