Question

Solve the equation 3x2+24=0 for x

Answer 1

\(\large\sf 3x^2+24=0\)

get the numbers to the right, and the x's to the left.

First step would be to subtract 24 from both sides.

Answer 2

then divide the whole thing by 3

Answer 3

then you'll get \(\large\sf x^2=-8\)
x would be \(-\sqrt{8}\)
