The solution is \( x = \frac{5}{4} \).
Solución
We start with the equation:
\[
16x^2 + 25 = 40x
\]
**Step 1:** Rearrange the equation to set it equal to zero.
\[
16x^2 - 40x + 25 = 0
\]
**Step 2:** Identify the coefficients \( a = 16 \), \( b = -40 \), and \( c = 25 \).
**Step 3:** Compute the discriminant.
\[
\Delta = b^2 - 4ac = (-40)^2 - 4(16)(25) = 1600 - 1600 = 0
\]
**Step 4:** Since the discriminant is 0, there is one real solution (a repeated root). Use the formula:
\[
x = \frac{-b}{2a}
\]
Substitute the values of \( b \) and \( a \):
\[
x = \frac{-(-40)}{2(16)} = \frac{40}{32} = \frac{5}{4}
\]
Thus, the solution is:
\[
x = \frac{5}{4}
\]

Beyond the Answer
First, let's rearrange the equation \( 16x^2 - 40x + 25 = 0 \) by moving all terms to one side. This is a quadratic equation, and we can either factor it or use the quadratic formula. Recognizing that \( 16x^2 - 40x + 25 \) can be factored, we find it factors to \( (4x - 5)(4x - 5) = 0 \). So, setting this equal to zero gives us \( 4x - 5 = 0 \). Solving for \( x \), we get \( x = \frac{5}{4} \). Thus, the correct choice is: A. The solution(s) is/are \( x=\frac{5}{4} \)
