10(5x−3)(5x+3)
Show Solution

Find the roots
x1=−53,x2=53
Alternative Form
x1=−0.6,x2=0.6
Evaluate
250x2−90
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
250x2−90=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
250x2=0+90
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
250x2=90
Divide both sides
250250x2=25090
Divide the numbers
x2=25090
Cancel out the common factor 10
x2=259
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±259
