: Hi again. I found another problem that is confusing.
square root of 2x = the square root of x/4
i tried to break the square root of x/4 into (sqr x/ sqr 4). then i squared both sides
= 2x = x / 4
then i multiplied both sides by 1/x.
=2x/x = 1/4
2x/x = x
so x = 1/4
Is this the correct way to approach this problem?
Thank you. This question is from textbook

square root of 2x = the square root of x/4
---------------
Square both sides to get:
2x = x/4
8x = x
7x = 0
x = 0
