## happykiddo Group Title solve the equation by finding the square root x^2-9=0 i got x=4 + or - √4 one year ago one year ago

1. JuanitaM Group Title

how did you get 4...

2. JuanitaM Group Title

i think you meant to type 3

3. JuanitaM Group Title

|dw:1360110109271:dw| to solve by square root; get the x^2 term by itself and take the square root of each side.

i posted the answer for the wrong question. sorry. would you be willing to help again heres the my actual question 2x^2-64=0 and i got x=4 + or - √4 for this question

5. suivpasyonw Group Title

$2x ^{2}=64$ $x ^{2}=32$ $x=+-\sqrt{32}$

6. happykiddo Group Title

could i simplify √32 ?

7. happykiddo Group Title

like x=-6+- √27 can be simplified into x=-6+- 3√3

8. suivpasyonw Group Title

of course it would be $\sqrt{16\times2}$ so $\sqrt{16}\times \sqrt{2}$=$4\sqrt{2}$

exact @happykiddo
