(10x - 8)(2x - 1) = 0
x = 4/5 or 1/2. It's easier to check in decimal: 0.8 or 0.5

It is also x = 5 8zx + 5 = 2j + 3 → 8zx + 2 = 2j → 4zx + 1 = j Which is the first equation, which has a solution x = 5.
The solution
The idea is to find a number which, when square, equals the given number. For example, asking for the square root of 100 means solving the equation x2 = 100. The solution, in this case, is 10. (Minus 10 is also a solution, but the term "square root" refers to the positive solution in this case.)The idea is to find a number which, when square, equals the given number.

The second equation is not complete and there is not sufficient information for a solution. It would make no sense for me to guess what a + b equals since, in that case, I may as well start posting my own questions and answering them!
This is an equation of a straight line. A solution for two unknowns requires two (independent) equations; there is only one here. Every point that is on that line is a solution to the equation. So you can let x be any real number and find a corresponding y. This ordered pair (x,y) will be a solution to the equation as well as a point on the graph of the line.
