Use factoring to solve each equation:

49t^2=25 How would u do this? Thank You

I would take the square roots of both sides, remembering that there can be either a + or - sign on the square root.

That will leave you with
7 t = + or - 5.

Next, divide both sides by 7.

If you want to use factoring, rewrite the equation as
(7t +5)(7t -5) = 0

You will get the same answer.
How did you get the (7t+5)(7t-5)
From 49t^2 - 25 = 0

(7t+5)(7t-5)= 0 is the factored version of gthe same equation.

Whenever you have the difference of two perfect squares, factoring is easy.

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
