What is the smallest solution to the equation

The value of x is 6 and -6. The smallest value of x is -6

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 x² = 24

solving this equation for finding the value of x.

Multiply both sides by 3/2

x² = 24 * 3/2

x² = 72/2

x² = 36

Now, to find the value of x taking square root on both sides

√x² = √36

x= ±6

So, the value of x is 6 and -6. The smallest value of x is -6

x= cost per bracelet

number of bracelets * x + shipping charge = total cost

so

9x+9=72
