Maryjane Ashley · Answer 1

x = {-4, 4}

Divide each side by '5'. x2 = 16 Simplifying x2 = 16 Take the square root of each side: x = {-4, 4}

Eddie Pitts · Answer 2

Answer is D. 5x2 - 80 = 0 5x2 = 0+80 5x2 = 80 x2 = 80/5 x2 = 16 By taking sqr root of both sides, we get x = 4 and x = - 4 So, the answer is {4, - 4}
