Answer:

The answer is x=64

Explanation:

Hello !

Because,


x {}^(0.5) = 8 \\ x {}^{ (1)/(2) } = 8...changing \: it \: to \: fraction \\(x {}^{ (1)/(2) } ) {}^(2) = 8 {}^(2) ...squaring \: both \: sides \\ (x {}^{ (1)/(2) } ) {}^(2) = x \\ 8 { }^(2) = 64 \\ therefore \: </strong><strong>t</strong><strong>he \: value \: of \: x = 64.
