Let's expand and simplify the equation step by step:
(1/2 - 5x)^2 + 3/4 = (5x - 4)^2
First, expand both sides:
(1/2 - 5x)^2 = (1/2 - 5x)(1/2 - 5x) = 1/4 - 5/2x - 5/2x + 25x^2 = 1/4 - 5x - 5x + 25x^2 = 1/4 - 10x + 25x^2
And simplify:
(1/2 - 5x)^2 = 1/4 - 10x + 25x^2
Now, substitute back into the original equation:
1/4 - 10x + 25x^2 + 3/4 = (5x - 4)^21 - 10x + 25x^2 + 3 = (5x - 4)^24 - 10x + 25x^2 = (5x - 4)^2
Now let's expand the right side of the equation:
(5x - 4)^2 = (5x - 4)(5x - 4) = 25x^2 - 20x - 20x + 16 = 25x^2 - 40x + 16
Now, substitute back into the equation:
4 - 10x + 25x^2 = 25x^2 - 40x + 16
Now we will simplify this equation further by arranging the terms:
4 - 10x = -40x + 164 = -30x + 16-12 = -30xx = 12/30x = 2/5
Therefore, the solution to the given equation is x = 2/5.
Let's expand and simplify the equation step by step:
(1/2 - 5x)^2 + 3/4 = (5x - 4)^2
First, expand both sides:
(1/2 - 5x)^2 = (1/2 - 5x)(1/2 - 5x) = 1/4 - 5/2x - 5/2x + 25x^2 = 1/4 - 5x - 5x + 25x^2 = 1/4 - 10x + 25x^2
And simplify:
(1/2 - 5x)^2 = 1/4 - 10x + 25x^2
Now, substitute back into the original equation:
1/4 - 10x + 25x^2 + 3/4 = (5x - 4)^2
1 - 10x + 25x^2 + 3 = (5x - 4)^2
4 - 10x + 25x^2 = (5x - 4)^2
Now let's expand the right side of the equation:
(5x - 4)^2 = (5x - 4)(5x - 4) = 25x^2 - 20x - 20x + 16 = 25x^2 - 40x + 16
Now, substitute back into the equation:
4 - 10x + 25x^2 = 25x^2 - 40x + 16
Now we will simplify this equation further by arranging the terms:
4 - 10x = -40x + 16
4 = -30x + 16
-12 = -30x
x = 12/30
x = 2/5
Therefore, the solution to the given equation is x = 2/5.
