Simplifying
x^2 + 5 = 14
Reorder the terms:
5 + x^2 = 14
Solving
5 + x^2 = 14
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + -5 + x^2 = 14 + -5
Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + x^2 = 14 + -5
x^2 = 14 + -5
Combine like terms: 14 + -5 = 9
x^2 = 9
Simplifying
x^2 = 9
Take the square root of each side:
x = {-3, 3}

Ok this is really not that hard if you break it down.
subtract 5 from each side of the equations.
so
x^2=9
Now you need to take the square root of each side of the equation
The sqaure root of x^2 is easy it is just x
for 9 think about what number times it self gives you 9 that would be
x=3, but you must also consider that when you multiply two negative numbers you get a positve number meaning that -3*-3 also =9 so you have two soultions to this problem being
x=3 and x= -3.

The strategy here (since there is no x, just x^2) is to isolate by subtraction the x^2 on the left and all numbers on the right.
This will give you x^2 = 9 so x must be either +3 or -3 sinc e either one squared will give you 9.

x² + 5 = 14
x² + 5 - 14 = 14 - 14
x² - 9 = 0
(x + 3)(x - 3) = 0
x + 3 = 0 or x - 3 = 0
x = -3 or x = 3
x = ±3, x Ñ {-3,3}
