Answer

\(\boxed{x = 5}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Given the quadratic equation: \(x^2 - 10x + 25 = 0\)

Step 2 :Identify the coefficients: \(a = 1\), \(b = -10\), and \(c = 25\)

Step 3 :Calculate the discriminant: \(\Delta = b^2 - 4ac = (-10)^2 - 4(1)(25) = 100 - 100 = 0\)

Step 4 :Since the discriminant is 0, there is only one real solution for the equation.

Step 5 :Use the quadratic formula: \(x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{\Delta}}{2a} = \frac{10 \pm \sqrt{0}}{2(1)}\)

Step 6 :Calculate the solution: \(x = \frac{10}{2} = 5\)

Step 7 :\(\boxed{x = 5}\)
