$\sqrt{x}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: For nonegative numbers a and b, $\sqrt[n]{a} \cdot \sqrt[n]{b} = \sqrt[n]{ab}$ Use the rule above to obtain: $\require{cancel} \\=\sqrt{\dfrac{2x}{5} \cdot \dfrac{5}{2}} \\=\sqrt{\dfrac{\cancel{2}x}{\cancel{5}} \cdot \dfrac{\cancel{5}}{\cancel{2}}} \\=\sqrt{x}$
