Question 24 • Algebra II

What is the solution to the equation square root of 8 x is equal to square root of 4 plus 2 x end root ?

Answer
A
x is equal to 2 fifths
B
x is equal to 40
C
x is equal to 24
D
x is equal to 2 thirds

Explanation

Square both sides of √(8x) = √(4 + 2x), noting both square roots are nonnegative. This gives 8x = 4 + 2x, so 6x = 4 and x = 2/3. Substituting x = 2/3 makes both sides equal to √(16/3), so the solution is choice D, x = 2/3.
