Solve -1/4(x^2) 5=-x

Evaluate

- \frac{1}{4} x^{2} \times 5 = - x

Multiply the numbers

- \frac{5}{4} x^{2} = - x

Move the expression to the left side

- \frac{5}{4} x^{2} + x = 0

Factor the expression

More Steps

- \frac{1}{4} x (5 x - 4) = 0

When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0

5 x - 4 = 0 - \frac{1}{4} x = 0

Solve the equation for x

More Steps

x = \frac{4}{5} - \frac{1}{4} x = 0

Solve the equation for x

More Steps

x = \frac{4}{5} x = 0

Solution

x_{1} = 0, x_{2} = \frac{4}{5}

Alternative Form

x_{1} = 0, x_{2} = 0.8
