This equation could be solved in many
ways.
One way is to notice that the given equation is a
difference of two squares that returns the special
products:
`25x^2 - 36 = (5x - 6)(5x +
6)`
We'll re-write the
equation:
`(5x - 6)(5x + 6) =
0`
We'll cancel each factor and we'll
get:
`5x - 6 = 0`
`5x =
6`
`x = 6/5`
`5x + 6 =
0`
`5x = -6`
`x =
-6/5`
Another way to solve this equation is to add 36 both
sides:
`25x^2 = 36`
We'll
divide both sides by 25:
`x^2 =
36/25`
`x_(1,2) =
+-sqrt(36/25)`
`x_(1,2) =
+-6/5`
Any method you chose to solve, you'll
get the solutions of the equation `x_1 = 6/5 and x_2 =
-6/5.`
