5xx=1400\times 100
Multiply both sides by 100.
5x^{2}=1400\times 100
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
5x^{2}=140000
Multiply 1400 and 100 to get 140000.
x^{2}=\frac{140000}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x^{2}=28000
Divide 140000 by 5 to get 28000.
x=20\sqrt{70} x=-20\sqrt{70}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
5xx=1400\times 100
Multiply both sides by 100.
5x^{2}=1400\times 100
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
5x^{2}=140000
Multiply 1400 and 100 to get 140000.
5x^{2}-140000=0
Subtract 140000 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 5\left(-140000\right)}}{2\times 5}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 5 for a, 0 for b, and -140000 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 5\left(-140000\right)}}{2\times 5}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-20\left(-140000\right)}}{2\times 5}
Multiply -4 times 5.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{2800000}}{2\times 5}
Multiply -20 times -140000.
x=\frac{0±200\sqrt{70}}{2\times 5}
Take the square root of 2800000.
x=\frac{0±200\sqrt{70}}{10}
Multiply 2 times 5.
x=20\sqrt{70}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±200\sqrt{70}}{10} when ± is plus.
x=-20\sqrt{70}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±200\sqrt{70}}{10} when ± is minus.
x=20\sqrt{70} x=-20\sqrt{70}
The equation is now solved.
