  1. i think you may have started wrong. to solve this i would subtract the 15 over to get 2x^2-50=0

    then i would divide a 2 out so it become x^2-25=0

    then factor it to become (x+5)(x-5)=0

    then based on zero product property, x=5,-5


  2. 2x^2 - 35 = 15

    2x^2 = 15 + 45

    x^2 = 60/2

    x = 30^1/2

    x = 5.477225575

  3. 2x^2 - 35 = 15

    2x^2 - 50 = 0

    2(x^2 - 25) = 0

    2(x+5)(x-5) = 0

    x = +5 or -5

    I don't know an easier way using the square root property.
