Lesson Summary:

In this lesson, we learn how to find solutions to a binomial squared by undoing addition, subtraction, and multiplication. The key to solving the problem is to get rid of the squared term by taking its square root, which could result in either a positive or negative value. By doing this, we can find the value of x that satisfies the equation.

Finding the solutions to a binomial squared

I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
