75=2x\times 12,5x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
75=2x^{2}\times 12,5
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
75=25x^{2}
Multiply 2 and 12,5 to get 25.
25x^{2}=75
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x^{2}=\frac{75}{25}
Divide both sides by 25.
x^{2}=3
Divide 75 by 25 to get 3.
x=\sqrt{3} x=-\sqrt{3}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
75=2x\times 12,5x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
75=2x^{2}\times 12,5
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
75=25x^{2}
Multiply 2 and 12,5 to get 25.
25x^{2}=75
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
25x^{2}-75=0
Subtract 75 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 25\left(-75\right)}}{2\times 25}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 25 for a, 0 for b, and -75 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 25\left(-75\right)}}{2\times 25}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-100\left(-75\right)}}{2\times 25}
Multiply -4 times 25.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{7500}}{2\times 25}
Multiply -100 times -75.
x=\frac{0±50\sqrt{3}}{2\times 25}
Take the square root of 7500.
x=\frac{0±50\sqrt{3}}{50}
Multiply 2 times 25.
x=\sqrt{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±50\sqrt{3}}{50} when ± is plus.
x=-\sqrt{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±50\sqrt{3}}{50} when ± is minus.
x=\sqrt{3} x=-\sqrt{3}
The equation is now solved.
