Evaluate
1−112x2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−112x2=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−112x2=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
112x2=1
Divide both sides
112112x2=1121
Divide the numbers
x2=1121
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±1121
