What solution, other then 5, would make the statement x^2=25

Question

true?

Answer 1

The equation \( x^2 = 25 \) can be solved by taking the square root of both sides.

The solutions are:

\[ x = 5 \quad \text{and} \quad x = -5 \]

Thus, the solution other than 5 that would make the statement true is:

\[ x = -5 \]
