Solve for x.

8x^2 - 5 = 11

X = 1

8x^2 turns to 16x

Add five on each side of the equation, totaling 16.

16x = 16

x = 1

x = ±sqrt (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

8x^2 - 5 = 11

Add 5 to each side

8x^2 - 5+5 = 11+5

8x^2 = 16

Divide each side by 8

8x^2 = 16/8

x^2 = 2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt (x^2) = ±sqrt (2)

x = ±sqrt (2)
