5x^{2}=2\sqrt{5}
Combine 2x^{2} and 3x^{2} to get 5x^{2}.
x^{2}=\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
x=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt[4]{5}} x=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt[4]{5}}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
5x^{2}=2\sqrt{5}
Combine 2x^{2} and 3x^{2} to get 5x^{2}.
5x^{2}-2\sqrt{5}=0
Subtract 2\sqrt{5} from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 5\left(-2\sqrt{5}\right)}}{2\times 5}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 5 for a, 0 for b, and -2\sqrt{5} for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 5\left(-2\sqrt{5}\right)}}{2\times 5}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-20\left(-2\sqrt{5}\right)}}{2\times 5}
Multiply -4 times 5.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{40\sqrt{5}}}{2\times 5}
Multiply -20 times -2\sqrt{5}.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{2}\times 5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{2\times 5}
Take the square root of 40\sqrt{5}.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{2}\times 5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{10}
Multiply 2 times 5.
x=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt[4]{5}}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{2}\times 5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{10} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{2}\times 5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{2}\times 5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{10} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt[4]{5}} x=-\frac{\sqrt{2}\times 5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5}
The equation is now solved.
