Hey there!

ANSWER:

(x-8)^2=25

To solve this equation, you will need to simplify both sides.

x^2-16x+64=25

Now we will need to minus(subtract) 25 from both sides of the equation.

x^2-16x+64-25=25-25=x^2-16x+39=0

Now we will need to factor out the left side.

(x-3)(x-13)=0

In our last step, we will need the set factors equal to zero.

$x-3=0\\x-13=0\\x=3(ANSWER)\\x=13(ANSWER)$

Hope this helps!
