3\sqrt{3x}=-4\sqrt{2x}
Subtract 4\sqrt{2x} from both sides of the equation.
\left(3\sqrt{3x}\right)^{2}=\left(-4\sqrt{2x}\right)^{2}
Square both sides of the equation.
3^{2}\left(\sqrt{3x}\right)^{2}=\left(-4\sqrt{2x}\right)^{2}
Expand \left(3\sqrt{3x}\right)^{2}.
9\left(\sqrt{3x}\right)^{2}=\left(-4\sqrt{2x}\right)^{2}
Calculate 3 to the power of 2 and get 9.
9\times 3x=\left(-4\sqrt{2x}\right)^{2}
Calculate \sqrt{3x} to the power of 2 and get 3x.
27x=\left(-4\sqrt{2x}\right)^{2}
Multiply 9 and 3 to get 27.
27x=\left(-4\right)^{2}\left(\sqrt{2x}\right)^{2}
Expand \left(-4\sqrt{2x}\right)^{2}.
27x=16\left(\sqrt{2x}\right)^{2}
Calculate -4 to the power of 2 and get 16.
27x=16\times 2x
Calculate \sqrt{2x} to the power of 2 and get 2x.
27x=32x
Multiply 16 and 2 to get 32.
27x-32x=0
Subtract 32x from both sides.
-5x=0
Combine 27x and -32x to get -5x.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -5 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
3\sqrt{3\times 0}+4\sqrt{2\times 0}=0
Substitute 0 for x in the equation 3\sqrt{3x}+4\sqrt{2x}=0.
0=0
Simplify. The value x=0 satisfies the equation.
x=0
Equation 3\sqrt{3x}=-4\sqrt{2x} has a unique solution.
