8x(x - 6)1/2 + 4(x - 6)3/2 = 0
8x(x) - 8x(6)1/2 + 4(x) - 4(6)3/2 = 0
8x² - 48x(1/2) + 4x - 24(3/2) = 0
8x² - 24x + 4x - 36 = 0
8x² - 20x - 36 = 0
x = <u>-(-20) +/- √((-20²) - 4(8)(-36))</u>
                        2(8)
x = <u>20 +/- √(400 + 1152)</u>
                  16
x =<u> 20 +/- √1552</u>
             16
x = <u>20 +/- √(16 × 97)</u>
                16
x = <u>20 +/- √16 √97
</u>               16<u>
</u>x = <u>20 +/- 4 √97
</u>              16
x = <u>20 +/- 4(9.848857802)</u>
                     16
x = <u>20 +/- 39.39543121</u>
                    16
x = <u>20 + 39.39543121</u>        x = <u>20 - 39.39543121</u>
                  16                                        16
x = <u>59.39543121</u>                x = <u>-19.39543121</u>
              16                                         16
x = 3.71221445                  x = -1.212214451

Fittoniya [83]
There's a number missing from the question. It's supposed to be right before the word "times".
If it were there, the answer would be (5 times that number).
The way the question is written, without that number, there's no answer.
