Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x² = 16

We do the opposite of x² , so we [tex]\sqrt{x}[/tex] (square root) both sides

[tex]\sqrt{x}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{16}[/tex] = 4

to confirm this, we can square 4, which gets us 16.

Hope this makes sense! Feel free to ask anything further if need be.
