100=100-x\times 20^{2}
Multiply 5 and 20 to get 100.
100=100-x\times 400
Calculate 20 to the power of 2 and get 400.
100-x\times 400=100
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
100-400x=100
Multiply -1 and 400 to get -400.
-400x=100-100
Subtract 100 from both sides.
-400x=0
Subtract 100 from 100 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -400 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
