Answer 1

1.94

Explanation:

`8x^2+5=35\\8x^2=30 \\x^2=30/8\\x^2=3.75\\√(3.75) \\`

≈ ±1.94

Answer 2

x=1.94

x = - 1.94

Explanation:

8x² + 5 = 35

Subtract 5 from each side

8x² + 5-5 = 35-5

8x² = 30

Divide each side by 8

8x² /8 = 30/8

x² = 15/4

Take the square root of each side

sqrt( x²) = ±sqrt(15/4)

x = ±sqrt(15/4)

x=1.93649

x = - 1.93649

To the nearest hundredth

x=1.94

x = - 1.94
