  1. A 3
  2. B \(2 \sqrt{2}\)
  3. C \(\pm 2 \sqrt{2}\)
  4. D 8
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\pm 2 \sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( (2x)(x) - (5)(8) = (3)(-8) - (0)(4) \) \( 2x^2 - 40 = -24 \) \( 2x^2 = 16 \) \( x^2 = 8 \) \( x = \pm \sqrt{8} = \pm 2\sqrt{2} \)
