\frac{7}{10}\times 25=10\times 0.5+\frac{7}{10}x^{2}
Calculate 5 to the power of 2 and get 25.
\frac{35}{2}=10\times 0.5+\frac{7}{10}x^{2}
Multiply \frac{7}{10} and 25 to get \frac{35}{2}.
\frac{35}{2}=5+\frac{7}{10}x^{2}
Multiply 10 and 0.5 to get 5.
5+\frac{7}{10}x^{2}=\frac{35}{2}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{7}{10}x^{2}=\frac{35}{2}-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{7}{10}x^{2}=\frac{25}{2}
Subtract 5 from \frac{35}{2} to get \frac{25}{2}.
x^{2}=\frac{25}{2}\times \frac{10}{7}
Multiply both sides by \frac{10}{7}, the reciprocal of \frac{7}{10}.
x^{2}=\frac{125}{7}
Multiply \frac{25}{2} and \frac{10}{7} to get \frac{125}{7}.
x=\frac{5\sqrt{35}}{7} x=-\frac{5\sqrt{35}}{7}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
\frac{7}{10}\times 25=10\times 0.5+\frac{7}{10}x^{2}
Calculate 5 to the power of 2 and get 25.
\frac{35}{2}=10\times 0.5+\frac{7}{10}x^{2}
Multiply \frac{7}{10} and 25 to get \frac{35}{2}.
\frac{35}{2}=5+\frac{7}{10}x^{2}
Multiply 10 and 0.5 to get 5.
5+\frac{7}{10}x^{2}=\frac{35}{2}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
5+\frac{7}{10}x^{2}-\frac{35}{2}=0
Subtract \frac{35}{2} from both sides.
-\frac{25}{2}+\frac{7}{10}x^{2}=0
Subtract \frac{35}{2} from 5 to get -\frac{25}{2}.
\frac{7}{10}x^{2}-\frac{25}{2}=0
Quadratic equations like this one, with an x^{2} term but no x term, can still be solved using the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}, once they are put in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times \frac{7}{10}\left(-\frac{25}{2}\right)}}{2\times \frac{7}{10}}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute \frac{7}{10} for a, 0 for b, and -\frac{25}{2} for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times \frac{7}{10}\left(-\frac{25}{2}\right)}}{2\times \frac{7}{10}}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-\frac{14}{5}\left(-\frac{25}{2}\right)}}{2\times \frac{7}{10}}
Multiply -4 times \frac{7}{10}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{35}}{2\times \frac{7}{10}}
Multiply -\frac{14}{5} times -\frac{25}{2} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{35}}{\frac{7}{5}}
Multiply 2 times \frac{7}{10}.
x=\frac{5\sqrt{35}}{7}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\sqrt{35}}{\frac{7}{5}} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{5\sqrt{35}}{7}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\sqrt{35}}{\frac{7}{5}} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{5\sqrt{35}}{7} x=-\frac{5\sqrt{35}}{7}
The equation is now solved.
