Q. Solve for x x . Enter the solutions from least to greatest.\newline(x3)281=0 lesser x= greater x= \begin{array}{l} (x-3)^{2}-81=0 \\ \text { lesser } x=\square \\ \text { greater } x=\square \end{array}
  1. Identify the equation: Identify the equation to solve.\newlineThe given equation is (x3)281=0(x-3)^2 - 81 = 0.
  2. Rewrite as difference of squares: Rewrite the equation as a difference of squares.\newlineThe equation (x3)281=0(x-3)^2 - 81 = 0 can be written as (x3)292=0(x-3)^2 - 9^2 = 0, since 8181 is 99 squared.
  3. Factor the difference of squares: Factor the difference of squares.\newlineThe equation (x3)292=0(x-3)^2 - 9^2 = 0 can be factored into ((x3)9)((x3)+9)=0((x-3) - 9)((x-3) + 9) = 0.
  4. Solve for x (first factor): Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x.\newlineFirst factor: (x3)9=0(x-3) - 9 = 0\newlinex39=0x - 3 - 9 = 0\newlinex12=0x - 12 = 0\newlinex=12x = 12
  5. Solve for x (second factor): Solve the second factor for x.\newlineSecond factor: (x3)+9=0(x-3) + 9 = 0\newlinex3+9=0x - 3 + 9 = 0\newlinex+6=0x + 6 = 0\newlinex=6x = -6
  6. Order the solutions: Order the solutions from least to greatest.\newlineThe lesser value of xx is 6-6, and the greater value of xx is 1212.
