5x-x^2=0
5x=x^2
Cancel x in both side, then we will get
x=5
5=x

The equation represents a parabola y=x^2-5x;
to get the solution we find where the parabola cuts the x axis....so the solution is
  x=0 & x=5..

It is a circle of radius 2.5units.


Explanation:

                      x^2-5x+2.5^2-2.5^2=0    (add and sub 2.5^2)

                      x^2-2*2.5+2.5^2=2.5^2   (5=2*2.5)
               
                       (x-2.5)^2=2.5^2            [(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2]

It is a quadratic equation which represents aparabola along Y-axis

 
 and Obviously it is not a circle.
 
 It can be solved as x(5-x)=0
                  it employs  x=0 or x=5
