Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
You first equate it to zero to get:

Then solve using square root method




Or


Now work it backwards


Hence the factored form is:

Answer: 5
Step by step:
Take 72-27=45
then 45/9=5
1. Add 5 to both sides. So x=5. That is a vertical line. The answer is undefined
2. 25- 5 7/8 + 6 1/2
Denominators have to be the same
Multiply 1/2 by 4/4
25-5 7/8 + 6 4/8
25 - 11 11/8
23 16/8- 11 11/8
12 5/8
