5x^{2}\times 5=25
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
25x^{2}=25
Multiply 5 and 5 to get 25.
x^{2}=\frac{25}{25}
Divide both sides by 25.
x^{2}=1
Divide 25 by 25 to get 1.
x=1 x=-1
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
5x^{2}\times 5=25
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
25x^{2}=25
Multiply 5 and 5 to get 25.
25x^{2}-25=0
Subtract 25 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 25\left(-25\right)}}{2\times 25}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 25 for a, 0 for b, and -25 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 25\left(-25\right)}}{2\times 25}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-100\left(-25\right)}}{2\times 25}
Multiply -4 times 25.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{2500}}{2\times 25}
Multiply -100 times -25.
x=\frac{0±50}{2\times 25}
Take the square root of 2500.
x=\frac{0±50}{50}
Multiply 2 times 25.
x=1
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±50}{50} when ± is plus. Divide 50 by 50.
x=-1
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±50}{50} when ± is minus. Divide -50 by 50.
x=1 x=-1
The equation is now solved.
