Wy multiply elements

125x^2-26=0

a = 125; b = 0; c = -26;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·125·(-26)
Δ = 13000
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{13000}=\sqrt{100*130}=\sqrt{100}*\sqrt{130}=10\sqrt{130}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-10\sqrt{130}}{2*125}=\frac{0-10\sqrt{130}}{250}
=-\frac{10\sqrt{130}}{250}
=-\frac{\sqrt{130}}{25}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+10\sqrt{130}}{2*125}=\frac{0+10\sqrt{130}}{250}
=\frac{10\sqrt{130}}{250}
=\frac{\sqrt{130}}{25}
