You can put this solution on YOUR website! It looks like you have to solve for x which really means that you have to find the value of x that, when squared and multiplied by 5, gives the result of 100.
Here's how you would do this: First, divide both sides by 5 to isolate the . or... Now take the squrae root of both sides. The right side can be simplified but cannot give you an exact number because the is irrational. or... Taking the square root of 4 (that's +2 or -2) you get... or
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve using the square root property
5x^2 = 100
x^2 = 20
x = sqrt20 or x = -sqrt20
x = 2sqrt5 or x = -2sqrt5
