sry
make your life easier and start with \[5x^2-100x+100=0\]
then divide by \(5\) to get \[x^2-20x+20=0\]
now either use the quadratic formula, or complete the square i will do the second method \[x^2-20x+20=0\] \[x^2-20x=-20\] \[(x-10)^2=-20+100=80\] \[x-10=\pm\sqrt{80}=\pm4\sqrt5\] \[x=10\pm4\sqrt5\]
im trying to put it into quadratic formula and i got 10+-4√10
@satellite73
ok i think i know what the mistake would be
you get \[a=1,b=-20,c=20\] and \[x=\frac{20\pm\sqrt{20^2-4\times 20}}{2}\] as a first step
gives \[\frac{20\pm\sqrt{400-80}}{2}=\frac{20\pm\sqrt{320}}{2}\]
now \[\sqrt{320}=8\sqrt{5}\] giving \[\frac{20\pm8\sqrt{5}}{2}=10\pm4\sqrt{5}\]
okay that makes sense!!! Thank you soooo much!!!! :D
