Solve each equation by finding square roots. If the equation has no real-number solution, write no solution.
64 b squared equals 16
Responses

b equals positive or negative one half
b equals positive or negative one eighth
no solution
To solve for b, we can take the square root of both sides of the equation:
√(64b^2) = √16
8|b| = 4
|b| = 1/2
This gives us two possible solutions for b:
b = 1/2 or b = -1/2
Therefore, b equals positive or negative one half.
