Solve -6x 8=5x^2 - ScanMath

Evaluate

- 6 x \times 8 = 5 x^{2}

Multiply the terms

- 48 x = 5 x^{2}

Swap the sides

5 x^{2} = - 48 x

Move the expression to the left side

5 x^{2} + 48 x = 0

Factor the expression

More Steps

x (5 x + 48) = 0

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

x = 0 5 x + 48 = 0

Solve the equation for x

More Steps

x = 0 x = - \frac{48}{5}

Solution

x_{1} = - \frac{48}{5}, x_{2} = 0

Alternative Form

x_{1} = - 9.6, x_{2} = 0
