5x^2+25=0

Solve for x:

Subtract 25 from both sides:


\begin{gathered} 5x^2+25-25=-25 \\ 5x^2=-25 \end{gathered}

Divide both sides by 5:


\begin{gathered} (5x^2)/(5)=-(25)/(5) \\ x^2=-5 \end{gathered}

Take the square root of both sides:


\begin{gathered} x=\pm√(-5) \\ x=\pm√(5)i \end{gathered}

Therefore, there are no real solutions

No Real Solutions
