Answer:

First Step: separate x^2 from -16

Second Step: add -16/25 to the other side.

Explanation:

x^2 - 16/25 = 0

^^ this might be easier if you separate x^2 and -16

First Step-

so rewrite the problem as x^2/25 -16/25 = 0

then...

Second Step-

add -16/25 to the other side. This makes it: x^2/25 = 16/25

Continuation-

Now, you can multiply 25 on both sides to cancel it out.

so you have x^2 = -16

Message me if you want to solve for x.
