b) \(\sqrt{x^2}=\left|-8\right|\)
\(\Rightarrow\left|x\right|=8\)
\(\Rightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=8\\x=-8\end{matrix}\right.\)
d) \(\sqrt{9x^2}=\left|-12\right|\)
\(\Rightarrow\sqrt{\left(3x\right)^2}=12\)
\(\Rightarrow\left|3x\right|=12\)
\(\Rightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}3x=12\\3x=-12\end{matrix}\right.\)
\(\Rightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=\dfrac{12}{3}\\x=-\dfrac{12}{3}\end{matrix}\right.\)
\(\Rightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=4\\x=-4\end{matrix}\right.\)
