| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | ( | 2 | x | − | 5 | ) | − | 5 | ( | 2 | x | − | 5 | ) |
| = | 2 | x | × | 2 | x | − | 2 | x | × | 5 | − | 5 | ( | 2 | x | − | 5 | ) |
| = | 4 | x | x | − | 10 | x | − | 5 | ( | 2 | x | − | 5 | ) |
| = | 4 | x | x | − | 10 | x | − | 5 | × | 2 | x | + | 5 | × | 5 |
| = | 4 | x | x | − | 10 | x | − | 10 | x | + | 25 |
| = | 4 | x | x | − | 20 | x | + | 25 |
| 4 | x | x | − | 20 | x | + | 25 | = | 1 4 |
| x1= | 9 4 |
