What should come in place of both x in the equation x = 162 .
128 x
12
14
144
196
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let x = 162
128 x

Then x2 = 128 x 162

   = 64 x 2 x 18 x 9

   = 82 x 62 x 32

   = 8 x 6 x 3

   = 144.

x = 144 = 12.

x^2 = root of 128 * 162.
= root of 20736.
x^2 = 144,
x = root of 144,
x = 12.

@Parag.

Meaning of ^(Circumflex/Caret).

Circumflex : It is a symbol used to represent a number to the power of the other number. The symbol of circumflex is ^. This symbol is also referred as Hat or Caret.

Example:-
2^3 (ie:- 2 to the power of 3).
2^3 = 2*2*2.

Because x = 144.

x = 12*12=144.

Can we do 162=81*2 please solve it by other process?

Hammad said:   1 decade ago
We only find the value of x which is equal to 144. But 12 is the square root of 144. If we looking on the question he only demand the value of x which we find initially.

Short method is that first take LCM of number given then make pairs.
