solomonzelman · Answer

square both sides

anonymous · Answer

or square and get 
$$x-2=25$$ solve for $x$

anonymous · Answer

c because the square root of 25 is 5

anonymous · Answer

so square both sides... 
then you get
x + 2 = 25
then subtract 2
then you get x = 23

anonymous · Answer

sorry i meant add 2 so then you would get 27

anonymous · Answer

lol C because it is always C
or at least it is 94% of the time

anonymous · Answer

really so your saying if i guess c on my whole quiz of 10 questions ill get a 94%

anonymous · Answer

probably yes
at least my experience here is that a multiple choice question has answer C way more than three quarters of the time

anonymous · Answer

satellite does have a point. C is usually the correct answer for me too. Idk why it's like that but haha. Anyways, I would go with C because I got a closer answer to C than to anything else.
