Bravo !!   Bravissimo !!!   You just learned to write it using parentheses.   Perfect !
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 = 0.       (Did I write it correctly ?)  --->

 = x-10

Square both sides. You will get

5x = (x-10)^2,   or

5x = x^2 - 20x + 100  --->  x^2 - 25x + 100 = 0  --->   =  =  = .

 = 20.  Check it !!  It works.

 = 5.   Check it !!  It doesn't work.  This solution is EXTRANEOUS. 

Answer. The only solution is x = 20.

Solved.

Do you see now how important is to write equations properly when posting to this site ?




Plot y =

One  NOTICE  at the end:

     What you wrote in your post was NOT exactly perfect.

     EXACTLY perfect is this:   (sqrt(5x)) -x + 10 = 0.


My next task is to teach you to say "Please" and "Thanks".
