Answer:

  not necessarily

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the square root of both sides, you have ...

  ±a = ±b

Those four cases resolve to two unique cases:

  a = ±b

The given equation will be true if a = b or if a = -b. If a and b are constrained to have the same sign, then a=b is the only solution.
