If ( (x+5)^2-(x-5)^2 ) is (80), what is (x)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (4)

The expression can be simplified by using the difference of squares. Let the two squares be formed around the same middle term. Direct expansion gives \\(x+5\\)^2=x^2+10x+25 and \\(x-5\\)^2=x^2-10x+25. Subtracting the second expression from the first cancels both \\(x^2\\) and 25, leaving \\(20x\\). The condition therefore becomes \\(20x=80\\).

Dividing both sides by 20 gives \\(x=4\\). Hence option B is correct. The same result follows from \\(a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\): here the difference is 10 and the sum is \\(2x\\), so the product is \\(20x\\). Options A, C and D do not satisfy the equation; substituting 4 gives exactly 80. The supplied answer B is therefore verified.
