Let
x---------> the number
we know that
Ten times the square of a non-zero number is equal to fifty times the number
so
[tex]10 x^{2} =50x \\ \\ 10 x^{2} -50x=0[/tex]
Factor the leading coefficient
[tex]10x( x-5)=0[/tex]
the values of x are
[tex]x1=0 \\ x2=5[/tex]
remember that x is a non-zero number
therefore
the solution is
[tex]x=5[/tex]
the answer is
The number is [tex]5[/tex]
