We are struggling with this part

____________

y = 5000x - 625x^2
First find dy/dx = 5000-1250x

Now there are turning points when dy/dx = 0, so:

0 = 5000 - 1250x
1250x = 5000
x = 500/125 or 4

_____________

We see that you have divided both sides by x, but should it not then be

5000-625x ??


Thanks
