Note: I just noticed that you only have one negative sign. If you mean to put -9, change the sign to positive. If not, leave the answer.
Note the equal sign. what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the x. First, multiply 3 to both sides
-x/3(3) = 9(3)
-x = 9(3)
-x = 27
Next, to isolate the x, divide -1 from both sides
-x/-1 = 27/-1
x = 27/-1
x = -27
-27 is your answer for x.
hope this helps
Short Answer B
Argument
A
A will give you x = +/- 5i
x^2 + 25 = 0
x^2 = - 25 Take the square root.
sqrt(x^2) = +/- sqrt(-25)
x = +/- (5)i which is a complex number.
B
Is the answer
x^2 = 25
sqrt(x)^2 = sqrt(25)
x = +/- 5
C
Can't be factored just by looking at it. You can show that C is not true just by putting 5 into the equation
f(x) = x^2 + 10x - 25
f(5) = 25 + 10*5 - 25
f(5) = 50
C is not true.
D
D can be eliminated as C was
f(x) = x^2 - 5x - 25
f(5) = -25 ( l'll let you show this is not true). 5 is not a solution because it does not make f(x) = 0

answer is D
