Multiply the numbers
245x2
245x2−2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
245x2=0+2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
245x2=2
Divide both sides
245245x2=2452
Divide the numbers
x2=2452
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±2452
