Here goes Solve by extracting roots. Round answers to two decimal places. 1.5x^2 = .7x^2 + 26.2. This is what I am doing and I keep coming up with wrong answers. I subtracted the .7 from both sides and came up with .8x^2 = 26.2. My final answer was x=32.75. I divided the .8 from both sides. However, back of the book has a completely different answer </SPAN>\n" );
