OpenStudy (anonymous):

_____ I got x = x /x - 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

___ ___ /x ( /x ) = x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so only the left side you canceled out the square root but you want the number to still be there ______ x- 8 = x ( / x - 8 )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright what to do next

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i did it wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since it is a square root just square both sides to cancel out the square root function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry about that

OpenStudy (anonymous):
