Solve the equation x Squareroot 8 2x 0 Select the correct
Solve the equation. x - Squareroot 8 - 2x = 0 Select the correct choice below and, if necessary fill in A. The solution set is (Simplify your answer. Use a comma to separate B. There is no solution.
Solution
x - sqrt(8 -2x) =0
x = sqrt(8-2x)
Taking square on both sides:
x^2 = 8 -2x
x^2 + 2x - 8 =0
x^2 + 4x -2x -8 =0
x(x+4) -2(x+4) =0
(x-2)(x+4) =0
x = 2, - 4
