8x^2 -3 = 2
add 3 to each side
8x^2 = 5
divide by 8
x^2 =5/8
take the square root of each side
x = +- sqrt (5/8)
To find the value of x, bring the variable to the left side and bring all the remaining values to the right side. Simplify the values to find the result.
You get two numbers and put them together.
