Solve the equation using square roots:
2x^2-17=15

x = 4  or  x = –4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² – 17 = 15

Add 17 to both sides:

2x² = 32

Divide both sides by 2:

x² = 16

Take the square root:

√x² = √16

Simplify:

x = ±4

Therefore:

x = 4  or  x = –4

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24
