Answer :

Answer:

3rd option

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 7)(x - 9) = 25 ← expand left side using FOIL

x² - 2x - 63 = 25 ( add 63 to both sides )

x² - 2x = 88

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 1)x + 1 = 88 + 1

(x - 1)² = 89 ( take square root of both sides )

x - 1 = ± [tex]\sqrt{89}[/tex] ( add 1 to both sides )

x = 1 ± [tex]\sqrt{89}[/tex]
