Hey there!
[tex](x-8)^2=25[/tex]
To solve this equation, you will need to simplify both sides.
[tex]x^2-16x+64=25[/tex]
Now we will need to minus(subtract) 25 from both sides of the equation.
[tex]x^2-16x+64-25=25-25=x^2-16x+39=0[/tex]
Now we will need to factor out the left side.
[tex](x-3)(x-13)=0[/tex]
In our last step, we will need the set factors equal to zero.
[tex]x-3=0\\x-13=0\\x=3(ANSWER)\\x=13(ANSWER)[/tex]
Hope this helps!
