Answer: OPTION C

Explanation:

Given the equation
(√(3-2x) )/(√(4x) ) =2, you need to solve for the variable "x".

First, you need to multiply both sides of the equation by
√(4x):


((√(3-2x))/(√(4x)))(√(4x) })=2(√(4x) })\\\\√(3-2x)=2√(4x)

Now you need to square both sides of the equation:


(√(3-2x))^2=(2√(4x))^2\\\\3-2x=4(4x)\\\\3-2x=16x

Subtrac 3 and 16x from both sides:


3-2x-(3)-(16x)=16x-(3)-(16x)\\\\-18x=-3\\

Divide both sides by -18:


(-18x)/(-18)=(-3)/(-18)\\\\x=(1)/(6)
