52x2−2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
52x2=0+2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
52x2=2
Divide both sides
5252x2=522
Divide the numbers
x2=522
Cancel out the common factor 2
x2=261
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±261
