Trouble understanding only one way implication truth

Solution 1:

For real numbers:

$$x > 1$$

implies that $$ x^2 > 1 $$

But $x^2 > 1$ does not imply that $x > 1$. For instance, $(-2)^2 = 4 > 1$, but $-2$ is not greater than $1$.

Solution 2:

$x = 2 \implies x \ge 2$ is true.

$x \ge 2 \iff x = 2$ is false.
