Hello!

Simplifying:
5x^2 + -90 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-90 + 5x^2 = 0

Solving:
-90 + 5x^2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '90' to each side of the equation.
-90 + 90 + 5x^2 = 0 + 90

Combine like terms: -90 + 90 = 0
0 + 5x^2 = 0 + 90
5x^2 = 0 + 90

Combine like terms: 0 + 90 = 90 5x^2 = 90

Divide each side by '5'.
x^2 = 18

Simplifying:
x^2 = 18

Take the square root of each side:
x = {-4.242640687, 4.242640687}


Hope this Helps! Have A WONDERFUL Day! :)
