we are given


x^2= (25)/(289)

Firstly, we will find all possible factors of 25 and 289

25=5*5

289=17*17

so, we get


x^2= (5*5)/(17*17)


x^2= (5^2)/(17^2)

Since, we have to solve for x

so, we can take sqrt both sides


√(x^2)= -\sqrt{(5^2)/(17^2) }


√(x^2)= \sqrt{(5^2)/(17^2) }

now, we can simplify both


x=-(5)/(17)


x=(5)/(17)

so, solutions are


x=-(5)/(17)


x=(5)/(17)................Answer
