5x^{2}\times 2=10
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
10x^{2}=10
Multiply 5 and 2 to get 10.
x^{2}=\frac{10}{10}
Divide both sides by 10.
x^{2}=1
Divide 10 by 10 to get 1.
x=1 x=-1
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
5x^{2}\times 2=10
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
10x^{2}=10
Multiply 5 and 2 to get 10.
10x^{2}-10=0
Subtract 10 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 10\left(-10\right)}}{2\times 10}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 10 for a, 0 for b, and -10 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 10\left(-10\right)}}{2\times 10}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-40\left(-10\right)}}{2\times 10}
Multiply -4 times 10.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{400}}{2\times 10}
Multiply -40 times -10.
x=\frac{0±20}{2\times 10}
Take the square root of 400.
x=\frac{0±20}{20}
Multiply 2 times 10.
x=1
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±20}{20} when ± is plus. Divide 20 by 20.
x=-1
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±20}{20} when ± is minus. Divide -20 by 20.
x=1 x=-1
The equation is now solved.
