x-\frac{1}{9}=\frac{2}{9} x-\frac{1}{9}=-\frac{2}{9}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x-\frac{1}{9}-\left(-\frac{1}{9}\right)=\frac{2}{9}-\left(-\frac{1}{9}\right) x-\frac{1}{9}-\left(-\frac{1}{9}\right)=-\frac{2}{9}-\left(-\frac{1}{9}\right)
Add \frac{1}{9} to both sides of the equation.
x=\frac{2}{9}-\left(-\frac{1}{9}\right) x=-\frac{2}{9}-\left(-\frac{1}{9}\right)
Subtracting -\frac{1}{9} from itself leaves 0.
x=\frac{1}{3}
Subtract -\frac{1}{9} from \frac{2}{9} by finding a common denominator and subtracting the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.
x=-\frac{1}{9}
Subtract -\frac{1}{9} from -\frac{2}{9} by finding a common denominator and subtracting the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.
x=\frac{1}{3} x=-\frac{1}{9}
The equation is now solved.
