Answer

{$-\frac{5}{3},\frac{5}{3}$}

Work Step by Step

Using Property 10.1, which states that for any non-negative real number $a$, $x^{2}=a$ can be written as $x=\pm\sqrt a$, we obtain: $x^{2}=\frac{25}{9}$ $x=\pm\sqrt {\frac{25}{9}}$ $x=\pm \frac{5}{3}$ The solution set is {$-\frac{5}{3},\frac{5}{3}$}.
