Question

`24x^(2)+bx^(2) =25x^(2)`

Answer 1

x = 0

Explanation:

Subtract 25x^2 from both sides

24x^2 + bx^2 - 25x^2 - 25x^2

Simplify

bx^2 - x^2 = 0

Factor bx^2 - x^2: x^2(b - 1)

bx^2 - x^2

Factor out common term x^2

= x^2 (b - 1)

x^2(b - 1) = 0

Using the Zero Factor Principle: If ab = 0 then a = 0 or b = 0

x^2 = 0

Apply rule x^n = 0 x = 0

x = 0
