Fidn the solutions to the quadratic equation: x^2 - 16 = 0

Solve by adding 16 to both sides of the equation yielding: x^2 = 16. Then take the square root of both sides (remembering that taking the square root gives us a positive and a negative answer), giving us x = +/- sqrt(16) = +/- 4. So the solution are x=+4 and x=-4.
