To determine how many solutions the equation \(5x^2 = 50\) has, we can start by simplifying the equation.
- Divide both sides by 5:
\[ x^2 = 10 \]
- Next, take the square root of both sides:
\[ x = \pm \sqrt{10} \]
Thus, there are two solutions:
\[ x = \sqrt{10} \quad \text{and} \quad x = -\sqrt{10} \]
So, the equation \(5x^2 = 50\) has two solutions.
