175=1120x^{2}
Multiply 7 and 25 to get 175.
1120x^{2}=175
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x^{2}=\frac{175}{1120}
Divide both sides by 1120.
x^{2}=\frac{5}{32}
Reduce the fraction \frac{175}{1120} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 35.
x=\frac{\sqrt{10}}{8} x=-\frac{\sqrt{10}}{8}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
175=1120x^{2}
Multiply 7 and 25 to get 175.
1120x^{2}=175
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
1120x^{2}-175=0
Subtract 175 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 1120\left(-175\right)}}{2\times 1120}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1120 for a, 0 for b, and -175 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 1120\left(-175\right)}}{2\times 1120}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4480\left(-175\right)}}{2\times 1120}
Multiply -4 times 1120.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{784000}}{2\times 1120}
Multiply -4480 times -175.
x=\frac{0±280\sqrt{10}}{2\times 1120}
Take the square root of 784000.
x=\frac{0±280\sqrt{10}}{2240}
Multiply 2 times 1120.
x=\frac{\sqrt{10}}{8}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±280\sqrt{10}}{2240} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{10}}{8}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±280\sqrt{10}}{2240} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{10}}{8} x=-\frac{\sqrt{10}}{8}
The equation is now solved.
