Solve 5x^2 15x - 50 = 0

Question

Solve the equation

x = \frac{3 18}{3}

Alternative Form

x \approx 0.87358

Evaluate

5 x^{2} \times 15 x - 50 = 0

Multiply

More Steps

Evaluate

5 x^{2} \times 15 x

Multiply the terms

75 x^{2} \times x

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

75 x^{2 + 1}

Add the numbers

75 x^{3}

75 x^{3} - 50 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

75 x^{3} = 0 + 50

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

75 x^{3} = 50

Divide both sides

\frac{75 x ^{3}}{75} = \frac{50}{75}

Divide the numbers

x^{3} = \frac{50}{75}

Cancel out the common factor 25

x^{3} = \frac{2}{3}

Take the 3 -th root on both sides of the equation

3 x^{3} = 3 \frac{2}{3}

Calculate

x = 3 \frac{2}{3}
