8x(2x+4)=8

8x(2x+4)=8 16x^2+32x=8 16x^2+32x-8=0 8(2x^2+4x-1)=0 8(2x^2+4x-1)=0 2x^2+4x-1=0 Now use the quadratic formula to solve x=(-b +- sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a) x=(-4 +- sqrt(4^2-4(2)(-1)))/(2(2)) x=(-4 +- sqrt(24))/4 x=(-4 +- 2*sqrt(6))/4 x=(-2 +- sqrt(6))/2 So the solutions are \[\Large x = \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{6}}{2}\]

th last one is the answer

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it can be broken into \[\Large x = \frac{-2+\sqrt{6}}{2} \ \text{or} \ x=\frac{-2-\sqrt{6}}{2}\]
