Q. Create a list of steps, in order, that will solve the following equation.\newline(x5)2=25(x-5)^{2}=25\newlineSolution steps:\newline- Add 55 to both sides\newline- Multiply both sides by 55\newline- Square both sides\newline- Take the square root of both sides
  1. Take square root: Take the square root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.\newline((x5)2)=25\sqrt{((x-5)^2)} = \sqrt{25}\newlineThis simplifies to x5=5|x - 5| = 5, because the square root of a square gives the absolute value of the original expression.
  2. Solve absolute value equation: Solve the resulting absolute value equation. The absolute value equation x5=5|x - 5| = 5 has two possible solutions: x5=5x - 5 = 5 or x5=5x - 5 = -5.
  3. Solve first equation: Solve the first equation x5=5x - 5 = 5.\newlineAdd 55 to both sides to isolate xx.\newlinex5+5=5+5x - 5 + 5 = 5 + 5\newlinex=10x = 10
  4. Solve second equation: Solve the second equation x5=5x - 5 = -5.\newlineAdd 55 to both sides to isolate xx.\newlinex5+5=5+5x - 5 + 5 = -5 + 5\newlinex=0x = 0
