Given the equation:

x^2 - 9 = 0

Determine the number of solutions from the equation.

Solution:

In order to determine the number of solutions, we simply needed to transpose -9 to the other side of the equation hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes. 

x^2 - 9 = 0

x^2 = 9

Take the square root of both sides.

x = 3
x = -3

Final answer:

2 solutions
