:
Pulling out like terms
3.1 Pull out like factors :
3x2 - 75 = 3 • (x2 - 25)
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares:
3.2 Factoring: x2 - 25
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check : 25 is the square of 5
Check : x2 is the square of x1
Factorization is : (x + 5) • (x - 5)
Equation at the end of step
3
:
3 • (x + 5) • (x - 5) = 0

Theory - Roots of a product
4.1 A product of several terms equals zero.
When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.
We shall now solve each term = 0 separately
In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product
Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.
Equations which are never true:
4.2 Solve : 3 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
4.3 Solve : x+5 = 0
Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation :
x = -5
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
4.4 Solve : x-5 = 0
Add 5 to both sides of the equation :
x = 5
Two solutions were found :
x = 5
x = -5
hope this helps you...plzz Mark as BRAINLIEST answer
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
= 0
either,
x+5 = 0
x = -5
OR
x-5 = 0
x = 5
Verification,
0 = 0
hope it helps .
