Solve Using the Square Root Property x*2=16

$x \cdot 2 = 16$

Step 1

Divide each term in $(x \cdot 2) = 16$ by $2$ .

$\frac{(x \cdot 2)}{2} = \frac{16}{2}$

Step 2

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{x \cdot 2}{2} = \frac{16}{2}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{16}{2}$

Step 3

Simplify the right side.

Divide $16$ by $2$ .

$x = 8$
