√x + √x =√8
2√x =√4 × √2
2√x = 2 × √2
2√x = 2√2
Divide both sides by 2
2√x / 2 = 2√2 / 2
√x=√2
Square both sides
(√x)²=(√2)²
Hence, x=2

FreeStuffsNG:
2Rtx=Rt8
Rt8= Rt4 times Rt 2
Therefore 2Rtx=2Rt2 (because Rt4=2)
Divide both places by 2
Therefore Rtx= Rt2
Therefore x=2
Option a is the answer
Rt= Square root

You can see how useless mathematicians are abi? Even simple x they can't agree what the answer is. Some say 2 others say 4 and both are actually correct depending on what approach you use.
The answer is 2
Mathematics is behind every damn pixel on your phone.
Every damn 3D video game you ever played in your life
is composed purely of mathematics
Vectors geometry to be precise.
Matrics multiplication, Sin, Cosine, Tangent....
That was my BSc Project programing 3D graphics from ZERO scratch.
I reached about 20% of what this guy did before I submitted my project.
There was no internet, no YouTube. Just one book and the rest was thinking
and calculating.

Ogurube:
2[sqrt(x)] = sqrt(cool
Divide both sides by sqrt(x):
—> 2 = sqrt(8/x)

Square both sides:
—>4 = 8/x
—>x = 8/4 = 2
—>x = 2
In other words. square root of 8 is equal to square root of 2 + square root of 2? Which kain Additional Mathematics class taught you that?

?? How both his answer and his method are wrong
sqrt x + sqrt x=sqrt 8
square both side
sqrt x)^2 + sqrtx)^2=sqrt8.)^2
square will cancel square root
then giving you a perfect equation
x+x=8
2x=8
divide both side by 2
=4
go back to the equation to check if the answer is correct
sub x for 4
4+4=8
if you think it is not correct then i will like to get advice from you

√8 is not 4. That is the mistake in your math.

Another simple way is to do it is solve from the answer
√8 is √4 x √2 meaning 2√2

And you know 2√2 certainly means √2 + √2

The end.
And you know 2√2 certainly means √2 + √2.


Root2 + Root 2 is not equal to 2 root 2.

Not a mathematics(or physical science) student but...

√X + √X = √8

X^½ + X^½= 8^½

(note "^" is symbol for "raised to the power of"...)

2(X^½) = 8^½

X^½= (8^½)/(2)

X= (8^½)²/(2)²

X=8/4

X=2

I feel a little bit embarrassed forgetting how to use Surds form. Assume this to be method 2 grin

At least, to God be the glory I arrived at an answer. cool

Wrong
Squaring the left side gives

x + x + x + x

and then
4x =8

You don't do approximations in a situation like this. Precision is required.

I don't get you
And you've written wrong numbers and equation.
Look carefully at what I wrote.
There's something called dyslexia.
It's a condition where someone's eyes are shifting up and down the place
And can't focus clearly.
Some people have it but they don't know.
They can't focus on + - x ÷
And consequently, fail maths. Then go around blaming the whole world instead.

I don't think you studied science or engineering.
This type of problem is solved exactly as it was written
in algebraic format without evaluating the actual numbers.
I've already solved it in the comments above.
I just added the 1.414 values to indicate that the values correspond.
Maybe you're good in drama or business or social media events.
I will not argue with you in those fields as that is not my career direction.
But this is maths. There's no argument in maths.
Just Learn.

Re: Mathematicians In The House come over Here by Uniquekriss(m): 11:55pm On May 24, 2024
Let's solve the equation \(\sqrt{x} + \sqrt{x} = \sqrt{8}\).

First, simplify the left-hand side:

\[
\sqrt{x} + \sqrt{x} = 2\sqrt{x}
\]

So, the equation becomes:

\[
2\sqrt{x} = \sqrt{8}
\]

To isolate \(\sqrt{x}\), divide both sides by 2:

\[
\sqrt{x} = \frac{\sqrt{8}}{2}
\]

Next, simplify \(\frac{\sqrt{8}}{2}\):

\[
\sqrt{8} = \sqrt{4 \cdot 2} = \sqrt{4} \cdot \sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{2}
\]

Thus,

\[
\sqrt{x} = \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{2} = \sqrt{2}
\]

To find \(x\), square both sides:

\[
x = (\sqrt{2})^2 = 2
\]

So, the solution to the equation is:

\[
x = 2
\]

You wrote:

Nowhere in Mathematics can 1.414 + 1.414 equate to square root of 8.

Square everything.......

then: x+x=8;

2x=8;

therefore x=4

8 has no square root. No round figure is equal to square root of 8.

Fcuck off from cracking people's brain. I have tried putting 16 in place of X, no dice.
Lol ...square roots of numbers that have no round figure answer is whats called surd.... There are separate rules separately for solving their questions
Re: Mathematicians In The House come over Here by MasterTeeUSA: 12:03am On May 25, 2024
Thank you....just shocked by the solutions here on this website. We are in trouble in NiGERIA.
Simple add like terms and simply simple radical, divide and square.





Habbeyy:
√x + √x =√8
2√x =√4 × √2
2√x = 2 × √2
2√x = 2√2
Divide both sides by 2
2√x / 2 = 2√2 / 2
√x=√2
Square both sides
(√x)²=(√2)²
Hence, x=2
