this one right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yup
OpenStudy (amistre64):
the answer should be 0 :) but lets see if we can get to that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
kk
OpenStudy (amistre64):
we know to square it to get rid of the squareroot right?

yeah
OpenStudy (amistre64):
\[x^2 = \sqrt{8x}^2\]
\[x^2 = 8x\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 16 + 2sgr = o
OpenStudy (amistre64):
we move it all to one side now right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes.. was mine right?

\[x^2 -8x = 8x -8x\]
\[x^2-8x = 0\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohh
OpenStudy (amistre64):
16 + 2sqr....no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i hate math D:
OpenStudy (amistre64):
:) itll get easier

We can factor out an 'x' from our equation now right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah now that imma have to repeat algebra 1 :(
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (amistre64):
\[x(x-8) =0\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
xsqr - 8x = 0

now the key to solve this is to know that anything times 0 equals 0 right?
so we have 2 options...
if x = 0 then; (0)(0-8) = 0
and
if x = 8 then; (8)(8-8) = (8)(0) = 8
So we have to test for x = 0 and x = 8 in the original problem to see if these are good....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so x=0 or x=8
OpenStudy (amistre64):
\[0=\sqrt{8*0}\] thats true
\[8 = \sqrt{8*8} = \sqrt{64}\]and thats tru; so yes
x = 0 or 8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x=\[\sqrt{42-x}\]
