The equation is $\"\"$ .

Solve the equation.

$\"\"$ (Original equation)

$\"\"$ (Add $\"\"$ to each side)

$\"\"$ (Apply additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

Consider the related function $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$

Make a table for different values of $\"\"$ .

Graph:

Plot the points obtained in the table.

Graph the function $\"\"$ :

$\"\"$

Observe the graph:

The graph touches the $\"\"$ -axis at $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

Therefore, the solutions of the equation are $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .
