To solve the equation \(3x^2 = 21\), we first isolate \(x^2\):
-
Divide both sides by 3: \[ x^2 = \frac{21}{3} \] \[ x^2 = 7 \]
-
Now, take the square root of both sides: \[ x = \pm \sqrt{7} \]
This means there are two solutions: \(x = \sqrt{7}\) and \(x = -\sqrt{7}\).
Thus, the correct response is:
two
