Answered by maham237 @



This is a quadratic equation . We order to equate to zero

2x² – 7 = 9

2x² - 7-9 = 0
2x² - 16 = 0

This equation is a binomial
2* (x² - 8) = 0
We choose the simplest method . The equation with practice it can be calculated in the memory

The product is equal to 0 if one of the factors is zero

2≠0 ∨ x² - 8 = 0
x² = √8
x = √8 ∨ x= - √8

Answer : x = √8 ∨ x = -√8
