solve 3^2 - 3 = 240

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[3^2-3=9-3=6\] not \(240\) dear

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

What kind of question is that

OpenStudy (misty1212):

maybe \[3x^2-3=240\]?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

The equation is false

OpenStudy (misty1212):

probably since that one has a nice answer i think

OpenStudy (misty1212):

add 3, divide by 3, take the square root, don't forget the \(\pm\)

OpenStudy (icalibear):

sorry guys! yes ther should be an x

OpenStudy (misty1212):

"guys" lol

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

She is a miss lol

OpenStudy (icalibear):

lol.. but really

OpenStudy (icalibear):

How do I do this :)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

She had explained to you

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

Add 3 to both sides first

OpenStudy (icalibear):

what is the aqrt of 243 is it 9 root 3?

OpenStudy (icalibear):

sqrt*

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

So you get \(3x^2=243\)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

divide by 3 next

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

Next is to divide by 3

OpenStudy (misty1212):

before you take the square root

OpenStudy (icalibear):

oh

OpenStudy (misty1212):

by some miracle 3 goes in to 243 evenly

OpenStudy (icalibear):

so x = 9

OpenStudy (misty1212):

don't forget \(-9\)

OpenStudy (icalibear):

+- 9

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

Nice!
