Answer:
x = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x² = 24 ( multiply both sides by 3 )
2x² = 72 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x² = 36 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ± [tex]\sqrt{36}[/tex] ← note plus or minus
x = ± 6
solutions are x = - 6, x = + 6
The smallest solution is x = - 6
