Answer:

x= 5/2

Explanation:

the only way a root could be 0 is when the radical is 0.

2x-5=0

transpose

2x= 5

x= 5/2

\textsf{Hey there!}


\huge\text{Question: } \mathsf{√(2x -5)= 0}


\bullet\ \large\textsf{First you have to square root both of your sides}


\huge\text{Like: }\mathsf{\bf{2x-5 = 0^2}}\\\mathsf{\rightarrow0^2=0}\\\mathsf{\rightarrow 2x - 5 = 0}


\bullet \ \large\textsf{Add by 5 on both of your sides}


\huge\text{Like: }\bf{\mathsf{2x - 5+5 = 0 + 5}}\\\textsf{Cancel out: }\mathsf{-5 + 5\ because\ that\ gives\ you\ 0}\\\textsf{Keep: }\mathsf{0+5\ because\ that\ helps\ us\ solve\ for\ our\ answer}\\\mathsf{\rightarrow\underline{0+5= 5}}


\bullet\large\text{ New equation}


\mathsf{2x =5}


\bullet \large\text{ Divide both of your sides by 2}


\mathsf{(2x)/(2)=(5)/(2)}\\\\\huge\textsf{Cancel out: }}\mathsf{(2x)/(2)\ because\ it\ gives\ you\ 1}\\\textsf{Keep:}\mathsf{(5)/(2)\ because\ it\ helps\ us\ solve\ for\ x}


\large\textsf{{{\underline{Answer}}}}


\boxed{\boxed{\huge\textsf{Thus, your answer is: \boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{\bf{x = (5)/(2)}}}}}}}\huge\checkmark


\mathsf{Note: Plug\ (5)/(2)\ into\ your\ equation\ (for \ x)\ and\ make\ sure \ that\ that\ it\ works }


\large\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
