1. Problem Description

The problem is to solve the equation (7x4)2=36(7x - 4)^2 = 36 using the square root property.

2. Solution Steps

The given equation is (7x4)2=36(7x - 4)^2 = 36.
Taking the square root of both sides gives
7x4=±367x - 4 = \pm \sqrt{36}.
Since 36=6\sqrt{36} = 6, we have 7x4=±67x - 4 = \pm 6.
This leads to two equations:
7x4=67x - 4 = 6 and 7x4=67x - 4 = -6.
Solving the first equation, 7x4=67x - 4 = 6, we add 4 to both sides to get 7x=107x = 10. Then, dividing both sides by 7 gives x=107x = \frac{10}{7}.
Solving the second equation, 7x4=67x - 4 = -6, we add 4 to both sides to get 7x=27x = -2. Then, dividing both sides by 7 gives x=27x = -\frac{2}{7}.
Therefore, the solutions are x=107x = \frac{10}{7} and x=27x = -\frac{2}{7}.

3. Final Answer

The solutions are 107,27\frac{10}{7}, -\frac{2}{7}.
