algebra precalculus - Solving Radical Equations x7=sqrtx5

This the Pre-Calculus Problem:



x7=x5



So far I did it like this and I'm not understanding If I did it wrong.



(x7)2=x52 - The Square root would cancel, leaving:



(x7)2=x5 Then I F.O.I.L'ed the problem.




(x7)(x7)=x5



x27x7x+14=x5



x214x+14=x5



x214xx+14=xx5



x215x+14=5




x215x+14+5=5+5



x215x+19=0



(x1)(x19)=0



Now this is where I'm stuck because when I tried to see if I got the right numbers in the parentheses I got this....



x219x1x+19=0




x220x+19=0



As you may see I'm doing something bad because I don't get x215x+19



Could anyone please help me and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
