2x - 81 = 0
Add 81 to both sides.
2x - 81 + 81 = 0 + 81
Substitute, -81 + 81 cancels out.
2x = 81
Divide by 2.
x = 40.5
Above answer would be correct if your question was 2x but it was x2 so using the same method you would get
x2 = 81 here the opposite of the square is the square root
x = 9

How do you solve x equals 0 inequality?
"x equals 0" is an equality, not an inequality. The question is, therefore, not consistent.
How do you solve x³-4x equals 0 algebraically?
Suppose x3-4x = 0. To solve, factor: x3-4x = x(x2-4) = x(x+2)(x-2) = 0 Now, a product equals 0 if and only one or more of the factors equals 0, so set each factor to 0 and solve. The roots are 0,-2 and +2.
