Question

What is the solution set of the equation 3x^2 =48

Answer 1

x = ± 4

Explanation:

You need to get
`x^2` by itself, and to do this, you divide both sides by 3, like so:

`3x^2 = 48\\x^2 = 16`

Now take the square root of both sides:

`√(x^2) =√(16) \\`

x = ± 4

Answer 2

x = ±4

Explanation:

3x^2 =48

Divide by 3

3x^2/3 = 48/3

x^2 = 16

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(16)

x = ±4
