Solve the following equation =0.017=2x^2/(0.0550-x)(0.165-x). I was told it was 0.00196. But I got like 0.00247. Is 0.00196 correct?

as written, I get 0.196

If you meant 0.017=2x^2/[(0.0550-x)(0.165-x)] then I get 0.00792
and of course, in either case, there are other solutions.

Perhaps you could show your calculation and we can see what's what.
