\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Question:-}}}}

3x²=75. What is x?


\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and How to Solve:-}}}}

First, divide by 3 on both sides:-

x²=25 Next, take the square root of both sides:-

x=5, x=-5 (remember, x² =x times x (x times itself); 5 times itself gives 25, and -5 times itself also results in 25)


\dashrightarrow\bigstar\boxed{\boxed{\underline{\bold{So\:the\:value\:of\:x\:is\:5\:and\:-5}}}}\dashleftarrow

Good luck.

First Simplify the numbers we know. Therefore we get: x2=75/3 which is the same as x2=25

Now find the square root of 25, which is 5 or -5. Therefore x=5 or -5
