See the solution process below:

Take the square root of each side of the equation to solve for $x$ $x$ while keeping the equation balanced:

Remember, the square root of a number has both a positive and a negative solution.

$\sqrt{x^{2}} = \pm \sqrt{34}$ $sqrt(x^2) = +-sqrt(34)$

$x = \pm 5.83$ $x = +-5.83$ rounded to the nearest hundredth.
