Respuesta :

[tex] \dfrac{2}{3} x^2 = 24[/tex]

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Divide by 2/3 on both sides :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[tex] x^2 = 24 \div \dfrac{2}{3} [/tex]

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Change the divide fraction to multiplication fraction :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[tex] x^2 = 24 \times \dfrac{3}{2} [/tex]

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Simplify :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[tex] x^2 = 36[/tex]

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Square root both sides :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[tex]x = \pm \sqrt{36} [/tex]
