Question

what are the solution(s) to the quadratic equation x2 – 25 = 0? x = 5 and x = –5 x = 25 and x = –25 x = 125 and x = –125 no real solution

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is (x-5)(x+5)=0

Answer 2

The left hand side expression of the given equation is a difference of two squares. The first term, x², is a square of x and the second term, 25 is the square of 5. The factors of the expression are (x - 5) and (x + 5).
                                   (x - 5)(x + 5) = 0
The values of x from the equation above are x = -5 and x = 5.
