You can put this solution on YOUR website!
64x%5E2=25 Start with the given equation


x%5E2=25%2F64 Divide both sides by 64


Take the square root of both sides


Break up the root


Take the square root of 25 to get 5. Take the square root of 64 to get 8.


So our solutions are x=5%2F8 or x=-5%2F8
