Solve the equation algebraically (x-8)^2=25

Hey there!

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

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

Now we will need to factor out the left side.

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

Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

one day the were 5 ducks, and their king told them to multiply their kingdom. so each went their own seperate way and met 4 other ducks on their journey.

when the ducks returned to their kingdom, it was discovered that there were 5 groups of 5 ducks. when the kind counted the number of ducks in total (including the ones he sent out earlier) he counted 25.

therefore 5 times 5 is 25.

the end. : )
