Answer

The solutions are $5$ and $-5$.

Work Step by Step

$ 6z^{2}=150\qquad$ ...divide each side with $6$ $ z^{2}=25\qquad$ ...take square roots of each side. $\sqrt{z^{2}}=\sqrt{25}\qquad$ ...simplify ...When solving an equation of the form $x^{2}=s$ where $s>0$, we find both the positive and negative solutions. $z=\pm 5$
