The equation is \displaystyle{ x^2= \frac{9}{16}. We can rewrite the equation as:

                                    \displaystyle{ x^2= (\frac{3}{4})^2.

Our next step here is to take the square root of both sides, remembering that \sqrt{x^2}=|x|.

Thus, we have \displaystyle{ |x|= \frac{3}{4}. Our final step is solving the absolute value equation, which yields:

\displaystyle{ x= \frac{3}{4} or \displaystyle{ x= -\frac{3}{4}.


 Solution set: { -\frac{3}{4}, \frac{3}{4} }

Answer:

x² = (9/16)

The first step is to take square root of both sides.

√x² = √(9/16)

x = 3/4

Answer:  take the square root of both sides of the equation

Two angles are complementary. one contains 30° more than the other. find both angles. the measures of the angles are degrees.
77julia77 [94]
Let one angle be x.

Other angle = x + 30°

Given, angles are complementary;

x + x + 30 = 90

2x = 60

x = 30°

Hence, the angles are 30° and 60°.
