How do you solve for x:

0.500 = x/(0.210 - x)(0.100)^2

I know it should be only one answer. Please explain how you got it thanks!

Are you sure you typed the problem correctly? It is relatively simple to solve, but it's a really ugly answer.

How to solve it? There's more than one way, but I would just do the multiplication in the denominator (right hand side), multiply the left hand side by the result, collect terms into the form ax = b. Divide and you'll have it.

As Zazonker said, are you sure you wrote it down correctly. This looks pretty messy and that's not typical of a homework problem. On the other name, maybe the problem is this (I can't tell whether the 0.001^2 is in the numerator or denominator -- because of how you wrote it).



But that's at least as messy.
