Transcript text: Solve for $x$, where $x$ is a real number. \[ \sqrt{x}=5 \]

Solution

Step 1: Define the Equation

We start with the given equation: \[ \sqrt{x} = 5 \]

Step 2: Eliminate the Square Root

To eliminate the square root, we square both sides of the equation: \[ (\sqrt{x})^2 = 5^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 25 \]

\[ \boxed{x = 25} \]
