General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

• Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0
• Factoring
• Solving Roots

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

16x² + 9 = 25

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Subtract 25 on both sides:                    16x² - 16 = 0
2. Factor GCF:                                             16(x² - 1) = 0
3. Factor binomial:                                      16(x - 1)(x + 1) = 0
4. Find roots:                                               x = -1, 1
