✔ 最佳答案
Given: (5x-4)^2 = 24

expand (5x-4)^2=
25x^2 - 40x + 16

so
(5x-4)^2 = 24
25x^2 - 40x + 16 = 24
25x^2 - 40x = 24 -16
25x^2 - 40x = 8 (divide both side by 25)
x^2 - 8x/5 =8/25

Now complete the square.
(x^2 - 8x/5 + __) =8/25 + __
(x^2 - 8x/5 + 16/25) = 8/25 + 16/25
(x-4/5)^2 = 24/25
(x-4/5) = √(24/25)
x-4/5=+ or -(2√6)/5
x=4/5 + or -(2√6)/5
x=(4+2√6)/5 (answer)
or
x=(4-2√6)/5 (answer)

5x - 4 = ±√24

5x - 4 = ± 2√6

5x = 4 ± 2√6

x = (4 ± 2√6) / 5

x = (2/5) (2 ± √6)

(5x - 4)² = 24
5x - 4 = 4.8989794
5x = 8.8989794
x = 1.7797958

Answer: x = 1.7797958

(5x - 4)^2 = 24
5x - 4 = ±√24
5x - 4 = ±√(2^2 * 6)
5x = 4 ±2√6
x = (4 ±2√6)/5

25x^2-40x +16 = 24
25x^2-40x-8=0
a=25, b=-40, c=-8
x= (-b +/- (b^2-4ac)^1/2 )/2a
2008-12-26 4:37 pm
25 x^2 + 16 - 40x = 24
25 x^2 -8 +40x=0
solve using discriminant, you'd get the answer!

(5x-4)^2 = 24
25x-16 = 24
25x ( +16 ) = 24 ( +16 )
25x = 40
x = 40/25 ( 1 3/5 )
