5 2 x 6 6 4 x 4 = 2
Multiply both sides by 5 2 x 6 . We get,
8 x 4 = 2 ⎝ ⎛ 2 5 x 6 ⎠ ⎞
Square both sides
( 8 x 4 ) 2 = ⎣ ⎡ 2 ⎝ ⎛ 2 5 x 6 ⎠ ⎞ ⎦ ⎤ 2
8 x 4 = 4 ( 2 5 x 6 )
Square both sides again, we get
6 4 x 8 = 1 6 ( 6 2 5 x 6 )
Simplifying, we get
x 6 x 8 = 6 2 5 6 4 ( 1 6 )
x 2 = 6 2 5 1 0 2 4
x = ± 6 2 5 1 0 2 4
x = ± 2 5 3 2
