Question

-3 + x2 = -19 does x = 4

Answer 1

The equation given in the question is written below
- 3 + x^2 = - 19
x^2 = - 19 + 3
x^2 = - 16
x^2 = - (4)^2
Then
x = - 4
So we can see from the above deduction that x is equal to -4 and not +4. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
