simplify the right side
of the equation: 18(32) = 18 * 32 =
576 2. substitute the value of
18(32) back into the equation: 8x2=
576 3. divide both sides of the equation by 8 to isolate x?:
2
SX
=
576
8
8
x* = 72 4. To solve for x,
take the square root of both sides:
2 = 士V72
x = 6V2 The solutions
to the equation 8x2 = 18(32) are x=
6V2 and x= -6V2.
