Solve for x (x-5)(x-5)=0

$(x - 5) (x - 5) = 0$

Step 1

If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to $0$ , the entire expression will be equal to $0$ .

$x - 5 = 0$

Step 2

Set $x - 5$ equal to $0$ and solve for $x$ .

Set $x - 5$ equal to $0$ .

$x - 5 = 0$

Add $5$ to both sides of the equation.

$x = 5$

Step 3

The final solution is all the values that make $(x - 5) (x - 5) = 0$ true.

$x = 5$
