Step-by-step explanation:

When you subtract 14 from both sides of the equation, you are left with ...

  x^2 = 4

Taking the square root of both sides gives ...

  x = ±√4 = ±2

_____

Alternate solution

Subtract 18 from both sides of the equation.

  x^2 -4 = 0

  (x -2)(x +2) = 0 . . . . . factor the differenc   x = 2, x = -2e of squares

. . . . . . values of x that make the factors zero

The zero product rule tells you the product is only zero if one or more of the factors is zero.
