Question
Solve the equation
x1=−55,x2=0,x3=55
Alternative Form
x1≈−0.447214,x2=0,x3≈0.447214
Evaluate
x3×2=10x5
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
2x3=10x5
Add or subtract both sides
2x3−10x5=0
Factor the expression
2x3(1−5x2)=0
Divide both sides
x3(1−5x2)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x3=01−5x2=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=01−5x2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
1−5x2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−5x2=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−5x2=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
5x2=1
Divide both sides
55x2=51
Divide the numbers
x2=51
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±51
