Question

Solve.

(under radical) 3+2x ( end radical) + (under radical) 2-2x (end radical)=3

Answer 1

You must simplify the equation.

3 + 2X + (2 -2X) = 3

is also

3 + 2X + 2 +2X=3

which equals

5 + 4X = 3

Subtract 5 from both sides

4X = -2

Divide both sides by 4

X= -2/4

Simplify

X= -1/2
