The square root property states that if x^2 = a, then x = sqrt(a) or x = -sqrt(a).
Applying this to the given equation, we have:
8x - 1 = sqrt(1) or 8x - 1 = -sqrt(1)
Solving these two equations gives:
8x = 1 + sqrt(1) => 8x = 1 + 1 => 8x = 2 => x = 2/8 => x = 0.25
and
8x = 1 - sqrt(1) => 8x = 1 - 1 => 8x = 0 => x = 0/8 => x = 0
So, the solutions are x = 0.25 and x = 0.
