Which statement is true about the solutions to x^2 - 1 = 24 A. There are two distinct irrational solutions.

B. There are two distinct rational solutions

C. There is only one rational solution

D. There is only one irrational solution

B. There are two distinct rational solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 -1 = 24

Add 1 to each side

x^2 -1+1 = 24+1

x^2 = 25

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(25)

x = ±5

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 1 = 24

x^2 = 25

Taking the square root of both sides:

x = -5, 5.

2 distinct rational solutions.
