0\times 3=2x\left(1-\frac{100}{\sqrt{996\times 10^{6}}}\right)-1
Multiply 0 and 0 to get 0.
0=2x\left(1-\frac{100}{\sqrt{996\times 10^{6}}}\right)-1
Multiply 0 and 3 to get 0.
0=2x\left(1-\frac{100}{\sqrt{996\times 1000000}}\right)-1
Calculate 10 to the power of 6 and get 1000000.
0=2x\left(1-\frac{100}{\sqrt{996000000}}\right)-1
Multiply 996 and 1000000 to get 996000000.
0=2x\left(1-\frac{100}{2000\sqrt{249}}\right)-1
Factor 996000000=2000^{2}\times 249. Rewrite the square root of the product \sqrt{2000^{2}\times 249} as the product of square roots \sqrt{2000^{2}}\sqrt{249}. Take the square root of 2000^{2}.
0=2x\left(1-\frac{100\sqrt{249}}{2000\left(\sqrt{249}\right)^{2}}\right)-1
Rationalize the denominator of \frac{100}{2000\sqrt{249}} by multiplying numerator and denominator by \sqrt{249}.
0=2x\left(1-\frac{100\sqrt{249}}{2000\times 249}\right)-1
The square of \sqrt{249} is 249.
0=2x\left(1-\frac{\sqrt{249}}{20\times 249}\right)-1
Cancel out 100 in both numerator and denominator.
0=2x\left(1-\frac{\sqrt{249}}{4980}\right)-1
Multiply 20 and 249 to get 4980.
0=2x+2x\left(-\frac{\sqrt{249}}{4980}\right)-1
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x by 1-\frac{\sqrt{249}}{4980}.
0=2x+\frac{\sqrt{249}}{-2490}x-1
Cancel out 4980, the greatest common factor in 2 and 4980.
0=2x+\frac{\sqrt{249}x}{-2490}-1
Express \frac{\sqrt{249}}{-2490}x as a single fraction.
2x+\frac{\sqrt{249}x}{-2490}-1=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2x+\frac{\sqrt{249}x}{-2490}=1
Add 1 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
-4980x+\sqrt{249}x=-2490
Multiply both sides of the equation by -2490.
\left(-4980+\sqrt{249}\right)x=-2490
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(\sqrt{249}-4980\right)x=-2490
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(\sqrt{249}-4980\right)x}{\sqrt{249}-4980}=-\frac{2490}{\sqrt{249}-4980}
Divide both sides by -4980+\sqrt{249}.
x=-\frac{2490}{\sqrt{249}-4980}
Dividing by -4980+\sqrt{249} undoes the multiplication by -4980+\sqrt{249}.
x=\frac{10\sqrt{249}+49800}{99599}
Divide -2490 by -4980+\sqrt{249}.
