We have x^2 = 25/64.

Taking the square root of both sides, we get x = ±√(25/64).

Simplifying the square root, we have x = ±(√25)/(√64).

Since √25 = 5 and √64 = 8, we have x = ±(5/8).

So the two real solutions are x = -5/8 and x = 5/8.

Entering the lesser number first, the solutions in simplest fraction form are x = -5/8 and x = 5/8.

Apologies for the incorrect response.

To solve the equation x^2 = 25/64 by inspection, we can take the square root of both sides:

√(x^2) = √(25/64).

This simplifies to:

x = ± √(25)/√(64).

Since √(25) = 5 and √(64) = 8, the solutions are:

x = ± 5/8.

Thus, the two real solutions are x = -5/8 and x = 5/8.
