4x2×2−5=0
Multiply the numbers
8x2−5=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
8x2=0+5
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
8x2=5
Divide both sides
88x2=85
Divide the numbers
x2=85
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±85
