Answer: {±2√3}

Step-by-step explanation: Since only one term contains an x in this problem, we can simply get the x by itself by dividing both sides by 5 and then square rooting both sides to get x = ±√12

Remember to use plus or minus when

square rooting both sides of an equation.

Now, √12 breaks down to 2√3 so our

final answer is {±2√3}.

If the variable only appears in one of the terms in the equation,

you can solve it by simply isolating the variable.
