Question

2x^2=50

Answer 1

So we want to find out what X is, right?

Answer 2

Yeah

Answer 3

Well let's put this into words because it often helps

The problem is:

Two times x squared is equal to fifty

Answer 4

i think x is 25 or maybe 13? are u in k12?

Answer 5

Divide both sides by 2 to simplify the equation:

2x^2 = 50
2x^2/2 = 50/2

x^2 = 25

x^2 = 5^2

so x =5 or x = -5

Answer 6

or x is the square root of 25

Answer 7

It's either (+-25) or (+-5)

Answer 8

It cannot be 25

Try plugging it in

2x^2 = 50

so that would be

2 *25^2 = 50

1250 is not equal to 50 lol

Answer 9

its (+-5)
