I think it's question number three. Sorry if the link dosen't work.
If x² = 196, then we must do the inverse (square root) to find x. However, the square root of any positive number will always be ± (plus or minus).
That means you have to do:
√196 = x
x = <span>±14.
We can check this by doing:
14 </span>× 14 = 196
-14 × -14 = 196
Therefore the answer is B) -14, 14.
The first option is

The second option is

So, neither of them is equivalent to 
The answer would be commutative.
Hope this helps !

Answer:
Cost of One Journal = $3.99
Cost of One pen = $0.59
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Cost of One Journal = x
Cost of One pen = y
We can make equation from given statements.
Mr. Bowden purchases 18 journals and 40 pencils for $95.42.

Ms. Jacinto purchases 11 journals and 16 pencils for $53.33.

Now solving these equations to find the value of x

Multiply eq(1) with 2 and eq(2) with 5

We get the value of x is: x=3.99
Now, putting value of x in equation 1 to find value of y.

So, we get the value of y: y = 0.59
Now, finding the costs:
Cost of One Journal = x = $3.99
Cost of One pen = y = $0.59
