-x+1000=60 -x+1000=-60
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
-x+1000-1000=60-1000 -x+1000-1000=-60-1000
Subtract 1000 from both sides of the equation.
-x=60-1000 -x=-60-1000
Subtracting 1000 from itself leaves 0.
-x=-940
Subtract 1000 from 60.
-x=-1060
Subtract 1000 from -60.
\frac{-x}{-1}=-\frac{940}{-1} \frac{-x}{-1}=-\frac{1060}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x=-\frac{940}{-1} x=-\frac{1060}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
x=940
Divide -940 by -1.
x=1060
Divide -1060 by -1.
x=940 x=1060
The equation is now solved.
