Given 25^2-10x=0, which values of x will satisfy the equation?

Question

(Hint: Factor the polynomial into two terms, and find the values of x that will make each term 0.)

Answer 1

I suspect a typo, your wording indicates that it should have been a quadratic.

the way you have it ...

25^2 - 10x = 0
625 = 10x
x = 625/10 = 125/2 or 62.5
