Question

Solve, then enter one of the vales of your solutions below. x^2 + 25 =169

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

-25 from both side

x^2= 144

then you square root it

x= 12

Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\mathsf{x^2 + 25 = 169}`

`\text{Subtract 25 to both sides}\downarrow`

`\mathsf{x^2 + 25 - 25 = 169 - 25}`

`\text{Simplify it}\downarrow`

`\mathsf{x^2 = 169 - 25}`

`\mathsf{x^2 = 144}`

`\text{Take the square root of the numbers (including the mystery number (x))}\downarrow`

`\mathsf{x = \pm √(144)}`

`\text{So, that means that}\downarrow`

`\mathsf{x = 12}`

`\text{Or even:}`
`\mathsf{x = -12}`

`\huge\text{Therefore, your answer should be:}`

`\huge\boxed{\mathsf{ x =\ }\frak{12}}\huge\checkmark`
