Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4(4x−8)2+16=25

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

64x2−256x+272=25

Step 2: Subtract 25 from both sides.

64x2−256x+272−25=25−25

64x2−256x+247=0

Step 3: Factor left side of equation.

(8x−13)(8x−19)=0

Step 4: Set factors equal to 0.

8x−13=0 or 8x−19=0

x=13/8 or x=19/8
