Solve 50=1/2x(5^2)

$$50= \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } x( { 5 }^{ 2 } )$$

Solve for x

$$x=4$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Calculate 5 to the power of 2 and get 25.

$$50=\frac{1}{2}x\times 25$$

Multiply \frac{1}{2} and 25 to get \frac{25}{2}.

$$50=\frac{25}{2}x$$

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

$$\frac{25}{2}x=50$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{2}{25}, the reciprocal of \frac{25}{2}.

$$x=50\times \frac{2}{25}$$

Express 50\times \frac{2}{25} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{50\times 2}{25}$$

Multiply 50 and 2 to get 100.

$$x=\frac{100}{25}$$

Divide 100 by 25 to get 4.

$$x=4$$
