(√5x) - x = 0 (√5x) - x + x = 0 + x (√5x) = 0 + x √5x)^2 = (0 + x)^2 5x = (0 + x)(0 + x) 5x = 0^2 + 0x + 0x + x^2 5x = x^2 5x/5 = x^2/5 x = This was how far I was able to get, but I need help to finish it.
@campbell_st @mathstudent55
ok... just to check is \[\sqrt{5x} - x = 0\]
and are you solving for x..?
Yes

I don't know how to go further than this.
well can't you add x to both sides \[\sqrt{5x} = x\] now square both sides \[5x = x^2\] then you can have \[x^2 - 5x = 0\] factor and \[x(x - 5) = 0\] so perhaps you can find the solutions from here.
OK, let me try it a moment.
