Solve: 16x^2 – 40x = -25 @Eyad could you help? I would greatly appreciate it.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Add 25 to both sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure :) First Step u will add 25 to both sides then factorize :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would I add -25?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

16 is a perfect square. 25 is a perfect square. I wonder if this leads to a Perfect Square Trinomial? That WOULD make it easy to factor.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no u will add 25 to get ride of -25 in the other side and to equal the equation to zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 41x^2-40x=0
