Answer:
Option A, [tex]n =[/tex] ± [tex]17[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Add 29 to both sides
[tex]n^2 - 29 = 260[/tex]
[tex]n^2 - 29 + 29 = 260 + 29[/tex]
[tex]n^2 = 289[/tex]
Step 2: Square root both sides
[tex]\sqrt{n^2} = \sqrt{289}[/tex]
[tex]n =[/tex] ± [tex]17[/tex]
Answer: Option A, [tex]n =[/tex] ± [tex]17[/tex]
