Solve the equation. Check your solution.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2/(x + 5) = 25/(x+5)      Subtract the right side from both sides.

x^2/(x + 5) - 25/(x + 5) = 0

x^2 - 25

=======   = 0

x + 5

(x + 5)(x - 5)

============= = 0

(x + 5)

Cancel x + 5 in the numerator and denominator.

x - 5 = 0

x = + 5

Does it check?

x^2/(x + 5) = 25/(x + 5)

x = 5

5^2/(10) = 25/10

25/10 = 25/10 Yes it checks.
