Solve for x over the real numbers:
x2+10x=25

Take one half of the coefficient of x and square it, then add it to both sides.
Add 25 to both sides:
x2+10x+25=0

Factor the left hand side.
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x+5)2=0

Eliminate the exponent on the left hand side.
Take the square root of both sides:
x+5=0

Solve for x.
Subtract 5 from both sides:
Answer:
x=5
