Solve Using the Square Root Property 9x^2=25

Problem

9*x2=25

Solution

1. Isolate the squared term x2 by dividing both sides of the equation by 9

x2=25/9

2. Apply the square root property by taking the square root of both sides, remembering to include both the positive and negative roots.

x=±√(,25/9)

3. Simplify the radical by taking the square root of the numerator and the denominator separately.

x=±√(,25)/√(,9)

4. Evaluate the square roots to find the final values for x

x=±5/3

Final Answer

x=±5/3
