Answer

$x=${$\dfrac{1- \sqrt {15}}{4},\dfrac{1+ \sqrt {15}}{4}$}

Work Step by Step

Given: $(4x-1)^2=15$ Need to apply square root property. $(4x-1)^2=15$ This implies that $4x-1=\pm \sqrt {15}$ or, $4x=1\pm \sqrt {15}$ or, $x=\dfrac{1- \sqrt {15}}{4},\dfrac{1+ \sqrt {15}}{4}$ Hence, our solution set is: $x=${$\dfrac{1- \sqrt {15}}{4},\dfrac{1+ \sqrt {15}}{4}$}
