Answer to Problem 3OE

Using Property of square roots of equal numbers

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The equation is :

  $11x^2=44$

Calculation:

The given equation $11x^2=44\Rightarrow 11x^2-44=0$ is of the type $a{x}^2+c=0$ , where a = 11 and c = -44 .

  $\begin{array}{l}11x^2=44\\ \Rightarrow x^2=4\end{array}$

So, it can be solved by Using property of square roots of equal numbers.
