No, they used Square Roots. As you should know, an equation usually has as many solutions as its highest degree.

For example, X^2 = 1 has two solutions, -1 and 1. Does this mean -1 and 1 are equal though?

 

I wasn't talking about that problem up there.  I already explained the issue with that one way up above.  You asked this question: "Do you want me to show you two others so you can prove it wrong?"  I was responding to that.  I was guessing they were the other ones where it divides by zero, take the log of a negative number, etc.
