Question

Find the solution set.
(x - 5)(x-5) = 0

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

Answer 2

Steps to solve:

(x - 5)(x - 5) = 0

~Set both factors to equal 0

x - 5 = 0

x - 5 = 0

~Solve for x

x - 5 = 0

x - 5 + 5 = 0 + 5

x = 5

We only solved for one factor since they are both the same and the x value for both are also the same.

Best of Luck!
