What method would you choose to solve the equation 2x^2-7=9

Mathematics

Here is one way to solve for x.

Step 1)  2x^2-7=9

Step 2)  2x^2-7+7=9+7

Step 3)  2x^2=16

Step 4)  (2x^2)/2=16/2

Step 5)  x^2=8

Step 6)  sqrt(x^2)=sqrt(8)

Step 7)  |x|=sqrt(8)

Step 8)  x=sqrt(8) or x=-sqrt(8)

-------------------------------------

Below are explanations/reasons to each of the steps above.

Step 1) Original equation

Step 2) Add 7 to both sides

Step 3) Combine like terms

Step 4) Divide both sides by 2

Step 5) Simplify

Step 6) Apply the square root to both sides. The notation "sqrt" is shorthand for "square root"

Step 7) Use the rule that sqrt(x^2) = |x| for all real numbers x

Step 8) Use the rule that if |x| = k then x = k or x = -k for some fixed number k.

-------------------------------------

The two solutions are
x = sqrt(8) or x = -sqrt(8)

What is the answer to the equation 3(x+4.5)=36?
kozerog [31]

Answer:

x = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 4.5) = 36

3x + 13.5 = 36

3x = 36 - 13.5

3x = 22.5

x =  \frac{22.5}{3}

x = 7.5

Solve for x (Angle relationship in Circles)
makkiz [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

180 \degree - 102 \degree =  \frac{1}{2} (x + 95\degree) \\  \\  \therefore \: 72 \degree = \frac{1}{2} (x + 95\degree) \\  \\ \therefore \: 72 \degree  \times 2=  (x + 95\degree) \\  \\ \therefore \: 144 \degree =  x + 95\degree \\  \\ \therefore \:x = 144 \degree - 95\degree  \\  \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore \:x = 49\degree}}
