x2×102
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
102x2
102x2−5×10=0
Multiply the numbers
102x2−50=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
102x2=0+50
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
102x2=50
Divide both sides
102102x2=10250
Divide the numbers
x2=10250
Cancel out the common factor 2
x2=5125
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±5125
