Simplifying
(x + -10)(x + 2) = 25

Reorder the terms:
(-10 + x)(x + 2) = 25

Reorder the terms:
(-10 + x)(2 + x) = 25

Multiply (-10 + x) * (2 + x)
(-10(2 + x) + x(2 + x)) = 25
((2 * -10 + x * -10) + x(2 + x)) = 25
((-20 + -10x) + x(2 + x)) = 25
(-20 + -10x + (2 * x + x * x)) = 25
(-20 + -10x + (2x + x2)) = 25

Combine like terms: -10x + 2x = -8x
(-20 + -8x + x2) = 25

Solving
-20 + -8x + x2 = 25

Solving for variable 'x'.
