Solve x/40 x/50 1/2 =5

Evaluate

\frac{x}{40} \times \frac{x}{50} \times \frac{1}{2} = 5

Multiply the terms

More Steps

\frac{x ^{2}}{4000} = 5

Multiply both sides

x^{2} = 20000

Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots

x = \pm 20000

Simplify the expression

x = \pm 1002

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

x = 1002 x = - 1002

Solution

x_{1} = - 1002, x_{2} = 1002

Alternative Form

x_{1} \approx - 141.421356, x_{2} \approx 141.421356
