This is the shorthand way of writing
=====================================================
Work Shown:
The plus or minus is needed because squaring a negative leads to a positive. As another example, x^2 = 25 has x = 5 and x = -5 as the two solutions. Note that x^2 = (-5)^2 = (-5)*(-5) = 25.
Also, note that the 80 was broken up into 16*5. This was done to simplify the square root. We pull out the largest factor that's a perfect square.
So that's how we get to the solution set . The curly braces tell the reader that they are dealing with a set.
