Question

what value can be placed underneath the radical symbol to make this a true statement?
2√□ = √24

Explanation:

Step1: Square both sides to eliminate radicals

$$(2\sqrt{x})^2 = (\sqrt{24})^2$$

Step2: Simplify both sides

Left side: \(4x\), Right side: \(24\)

Step3: Solve for x

$$4x = 24$$
$$x = \frac{24}{4} = 6$$

Answer:

6
