Question

Solve 2 x squared minus 3 equals 15.

  1. 5, -5
  2. 6, -6
  3. 4, -4
  4. 3, -3

The correct answer is: 3, -3


    To use the square root method, we need to start by isolating the x squared.
    2 x squared minus 3 equals 15
    2 x squared equals 18
    x squared equals 9
    At this point, you can take the square root of both sides.
    square root of x squared end root equals plus-or-minus square root of 9
    x equals plus-or-minus 3.
