\left(\frac{x}{53.8}\right)^{2}=\frac{79}{100}
Divide both sides by 100.
\frac{x^{2}}{53.8^{2}}=\frac{79}{100}
To raise \frac{x}{53.8} to a power, raise both numerator and denominator to the power and then divide.
\frac{x^{2}}{2894.44}=\frac{79}{100}
Calculate 53.8 to the power of 2 and get 2894.44.
x^{2}=\frac{79}{100}\times 2894.44
Multiply both sides by 2894.44.
x^{2}=\frac{5716519}{2500}
Multiply \frac{79}{100} and 2894.44 to get \frac{5716519}{2500}.
x=\frac{269\sqrt{79}}{50} x=-\frac{269\sqrt{79}}{50}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
