solve: ((x - 8)^2 - 100 = 0).

2, -18

-2, 18

18

-2

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the squared term

$(x - 8)^2 = 100$

Step2: Take square roots of both sides

$x - 8 = \pm\sqrt{100} = \pm10$

Step3: Solve for x (positive root)

$x = 10 + 8 = 18$

Step4: Solve for x (negative root)

$x = -10 + 8 = -2$

Answer:

-2, 18
