Question

Find the smallest solution to the equation 2/3x^2=24

Answer 1

Rewrite as $\frac{2 x^{2} }{3}$ = 24

Multiply both sides by 3 to isolate 2x².

2x² = 72

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x².

x² = 36

Square root both sides to isolate x.

x = -6 or 6

-6 is smaller than 6.

The smallest solution is -6.
