Answer:
1. x = 7 or x = -7
2. a = -5/3 or a = 5/3
3. c = 3 or c= -3
4. x =12 or x = -12
5. x = -22 or x = 8
Explanation:
1. X^2 - 49 = 0
(x+7)(x-7) = 0
x+7 = 0 x = -7
x - 7 = 0. x = 7
2. 9a^2-25=0. (a^2+b^2) (a^2-b^2) = (a+b)(a-b)
(3a+5)(3a-5)=0
3a+5 = 0 or 3a-5=0
a = -5/3 or a = 5/3
3. 4c^2+1=37
4c^2 = 37-1
c^2 = 36/4
c = +-square root of 9
c = 3 or c=-3
4. x^2 = 144
x = +- square root of 144
x = 12 or x= -12
5. 5(x+7)^2 = 1125
(x+7)^2 = 1125/5
(x+7)^2 = 225
x+7 = +- square root of 225
x+7 = +- 15
x = -15-7 or x= 15-7
x = -22 or x = 8
