A concrete beam has width b=300b = 300b=300 mm and effective depth d=500d = 500d=500 mm. The steel reinforcement has area As=1500A_s = 1500As​=1500 mm2^22 and modular ratio n=8n = 8n=8. The distance xxx from the top compressive fiber to the neutral axis satisfies the equation bfracx22−nAs(d−x)=0b \\frac{x^2}{2} - n A_s (d - x) = 0bfracx22−nAs​(d−x)=0. What is the value of xxx (to the nearest mm)?
