Solve Using the Square Root Property 3x^2=48

Problem

3*x2=48

Solution

1. Isolate the x2 term by dividing both sides of the equation by 3

x2=48/3

x2=16

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

x=±√(,16)

3. Simplify the square root of 16 to find the final values for x

x=±4

Final Answer

x=±4
