Question

What is the solution to the equation

256 = (1/2x - 3)2?

Answer 1

Is this your equation?\[256 = (\frac12x - 3)^2\]

Answer 2

yea

Answer 3

Take the square root of each side.

Answer 4

so take the square root of 256 and (1/2x-3)^3

Answer 5

Yes, but I thought the right side was (1/2x-3)^2?

Answer 6

it is, that was a mistake

Answer 7

(1/2x-3)^2 is right

Answer 8

Is it\[ (\frac12x-3)^2 \text{ or }(\frac{1}{2x}-3)^2\]

Answer 9

Well, anyway, what is \[\sqrt{256}=\sqrt{(\frac12x-3)^2}\]
