Question

What is the smallest solution to this equation?​

Answer 1

x = - 6

Explanation:

Given

`(2)/(3)` x² = 24 ( multiply both sides by 3 )

2x² = 72 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x² = 36 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ±
`√(36)` ← note plus or minus

x = ± 6

solutions are x = - 6, x = + 6

The smallest solution is x = - 6
