Answer

$\left\{-10\sqrt{10}, 10\sqrt{10}\right\}$

Work Step by Step

Take the square root of both sides to obtain: $x = \pm \sqrt{1000}$ Factor $1000$ so that one factor is a perfect square: $x=\pm \sqrt{100(10)} \\x=\pm \sqrt{10^2(10)} \\x=\pm10\sqrt{10}$ Thus, the solution set of the given equation is $\left\{-10\sqrt{10}, 10\sqrt{10}\right\}$.
