Question

select the correct answer what is the value of x in the equation 25 x 2 equals 16

Answer 1

25x2 = 16

=>

$\begin{gathered} 25x^2\text{ = 16} \\ \text{Divide both sides by 25} \\ \frac{25x^2}{25}\text{ =}\frac{16}{25} \\ \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} x^2\text{ =}\frac{16}{25} \\ x\text{ =}\sqrt[]{\frac{16}{25}} \\ x\text{ =}\pm\text{ }\frac{4}{5} \end{gathered}$
