Question 247930: How can this be solved by FACTORING. We have not yet gotten to the actual quadratic formula yet.
The equation is this: 25x^2=5x-1
Rearrange the formula to get: 25x^2+5x-1=0 but that is as far as I can get. I can't seem to be able to factor anything out of this. Thank you!

check the signs on the rearrangement ___ but it still won't factor

have you learned the discriminant? for the nature of the roots
