\frac{1.9}{0.05}=\frac{x^{2}}{0.5}
Divide both sides by 0.05.
\frac{190}{5}=\frac{x^{2}}{0.5}
Expand \frac{1.9}{0.05} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.
38=\frac{x^{2}}{0.5}
Divide 190 by 5 to get 38.
38\times 0.5=x^{2}
Multiply both sides by 0.5.
19=x^{2}
Multiply 38 and 0.5 to get 19.
x^{2}=19
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=\sqrt{19} x=-\sqrt{19}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
\frac{1.9}{0.05}=\frac{x^{2}}{0.5}
Divide both sides by 0.05.
\frac{190}{5}=\frac{x^{2}}{0.5}
Expand \frac{1.9}{0.05} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.
38=\frac{x^{2}}{0.5}
Divide 190 by 5 to get 38.
38\times 0.5=x^{2}
Multiply both sides by 0.5.
19=x^{2}
Multiply 38 and 0.5 to get 19.
x^{2}=19
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x^{2}-19=0
Subtract 19 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-19\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -19 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-19\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{76}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -19.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{19}}{2}
Take the square root of 76.
x=\sqrt{19}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{19}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\sqrt{19}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{19}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\sqrt{19} x=-\sqrt{19}
The equation is now solved.
