Solve Using the Square Root Property 2x^2=72

Problem

2*x2=72

Solution

1. Isolate the squared term by dividing both sides of the equation by 2

x2=72/2

x2=36

2. Apply the square root property by taking the square root of both sides, remembering to include both the positive and negative roots.

x=±√(,36)

3. Simplify the square root of 36 to find the final values for x

x=±6

Final Answer

x=±6
