Square both sides to get the binomial out of the square root:
(√(2x + 8))² = (2)²
2x + 8 = 4
2x = 4 - 8
2x = - 4
Divide both sides by 2 to isolate the variable X:
x = - 4 / 2
x = - 2
Your answer is option C.
If you have a fraction, take one number and put a different number on top or underneath, for example if you have 2 cats and 3 dogs, the ratio from cats to dogs would be 2:3 but if you did 2 cats to the total number of animals, you would add 2 and 3 and get 5, so the ratio would be 2:5.
