Question

What is the value of x in the equation 25x^2=16? A.+ 5/4 B.+4 C.+ 4/5 D.+16/25

Answer 1

Answer:

x = ± 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

25 x^2 = 16

Divide each side by 25

25 x^2 /25 = 16 /25

x^2 = 16 /25

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(16/25)

We know that sqrt(a/b) = sqrt(a)/ sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(16) / sqrt(25)

x = ± 4/5
