Using a calculator or a pencil, find each square root, including
three (3) decimal places. A negative number has no real square
roots, so skip '-71' and '-19'.
For each square root . . .
-- If the digits in the 2nd and 3rd decimal place are 00 through 24, then
make the 2nd decimal place a '0' and discard the rest.
-- If the digits in the 2nd and 3rd decimal place are 25 through 74, then
make the 2nd decimal place a '5' and discard the rest.
-- If the digits in the 2nd and 3rd decimal place are 75 through 99, then
increase the 1st decimal place by 1, make the 2nd decimal place a '0',
and discard the rest.

3 - x = 6 so
- x = 3 and
x = -3
