The given equation is:


8x^2+5=35

1. Subtract 5 from both sides:


\begin{gathered} 8x^2+5-5=35-5 \\ 8x^2=30 \end{gathered}

2. Divide both sides by 8:


\begin{gathered} (8x^2)/(8)=(30)/(8) \\ \text{Simplify} \\ x^2=3.75 \end{gathered}

3. Take the square root of both sides:


\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{x^2}=\sqrt[]{3.75} \\ \text{Simplify} \\ x=\pm1.94 \\ \text{The solutions are approximately} \\ x=1.94\text{ and x=-1.94} \end{gathered}
