Example Question #171 : Sat Subject Test In Math I

$\sqrt{x}=25$

Possible Answers:

125

625

1225

Correct answer:

625

Explanation:

To isolate the variable in the equation, perform the opposite operation to move all constants on one side of the equation and leaving the variable on the other side of the equation.

$\sqrt{x}=25$

To get rid of the radical, we square both sides.

x=25^2=625

Example Question #12 : Solving Equations

Solve for .

$\sqrt{x+3}=16$

Possible Answers:

253

256

259

Correct answer:

253

Explanation:

To isolate the variable in the equation, perform the opposite operation to move all constants on one side of the equation and leaving the variable on the other side of the equation.

$\sqrt{x+3}=16$

To get rid of the radical, we square both sides.

x+3=16^2=256

Subtract on both sides.

x=253

Example Question #13 : Solving Equations

Solve for .

x^2=361

Possible Answers:

$\pm19$

361

$\pm361$

Correct answer:

$\pm19$

Explanation:

To isolate the variable in the equation, perform the opposite operation to move all constants on one side of the equation and leaving the variable on the other side of the equation.

x^2=361

Take the square root on both sides. Remember when you do that, you need to take account of the negative as well. Two negatives multipied is a positive number.

$x=\pm \sqrt{361}=\pm19$

Example Question #22 : Single Variable Algebra

Solve for .

x^2+6x+8=0

Possible Answers:

2, 4

-2, -4

$\pm2$

$\pm4$

Correct answer:

-2, -4

Explanation:

To isolate the variable in the equation, perform the opposite operation to move all constants on one side of the equation and leaving the variable on the other side of the equation.

x^2+6x+8=0

This is a quadratic equation. We need to find two terms that are factors of the c term that add up to the b term.

In this case, we should have (x+2)(x+4)=0 .

Solve each binomial individually.

x+2=0 Subtract on both sides. x=-2

x+4=0 Subtract on both sides. x=-4

Answers are -2, -4 .
