What method would you choose to solve the
equation 2x2 - 7 = 9? Explain why you chose this
method.

Answer:
» ◻ Add and divide to isolate x²
[tex]2 {x}^{2} - 7 = 9 \\ 2 {x}^{2} = 9 + 7 \\ 2 {x}^{2} = 16 \\ {x}^{2} = \frac{16}{2} \\ \\ {x}^{2} = 8[/tex]
» ◻ use the square root property of equality
[tex] {x}^{2} = 8 \\ x = \sqrt{8} [/tex]
