Solve 2=x*0.125+0.5*9.8*0.125^2

$$2=x \times 0.125+0.5 \times 9.8 \times { 0.125 }^{ 2 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=15.3875$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 0.5 and 9.8 to get 4.9.

$$2=x\times 0.125+4.9\times 0.125^{2}$$

Calculate 0.125 to the power of 2 and get 0.015625.

$$2=x\times 0.125+4.9\times 0.015625$$

Multiply 4.9 and 0.015625 to get 0.0765625.

$$2=x\times 0.125+0.0765625$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x\times 0.125+0.0765625=2$$

Subtract 0.0765625 from both sides.

$$x\times 0.125=2-0.0765625$$

Subtract 0.0765625 from 2 to get 1.9234375.

$$x\times 0.125=1.9234375$$

Divide both sides by 0.125.

$$x=\frac{1.9234375}{0.125}$$

Expand \frac{1.9234375}{0.125} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10000000.

$$x=\frac{19234375}{1250000}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{19234375}{1250000} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 15625.

$$x=\frac{1231}{80}$$
