\[8\sqrt{2x-4}=32\]

Can you frame the equation needed to solve this ? Area of a rectangle = length \(\times\) width

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes my equation is the same as @nitz's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i don't know how to solve for x when it's in a radical

OpenStudy (foolaroundmath):

Now square both sides. See if it helps removing the radical sign (after first dividing both sides by 8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{2x-4}=4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
