Reorder the terms:
1600 + -1600 + -100x + x2 = 0 + -1600

Combine like terms: 1600 + -1600 = 0
0 + -100x + x2 = 0 + -1600
-100x + x2 = 0 + -1600

Combine like terms: 0 + -1600 = -1600
-100x + x2 = -1600

The x term is -100x.  Take half its coefficient (-50).
Square it (2500) and add it to both sides.

Add '2500' to each side of the equation.
-100x + 2500 + x2 = -1600 + 2500

Reorder the terms:
2500 + -100x + x2 = -1600 + 2500

Combine like terms: -1600 + 2500 = 900
2500 + -100x + x2 = 900

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -50) equal to 30 and -30.

Subproblem 1

x + -50 = 30 Simplifying x + -50 = 30 Reorder the terms: -50 + x = 30 Solving -50 + x = 30 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '50' to each side of the equation. -50 + 50 + x = 30 + 50 Combine like terms: -50 + 50 = 0 0 + x = 30 + 50 x = 30 + 50 Combine like terms: 30 + 50 = 80 x = 80 Simplifying x = 80

Subproblem 2

x + -50 = -30 Simplifying x + -50 = -30 Reorder the terms: -50 + x = -30 Solving -50 + x = -30 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '50' to each side of the equation. -50 + 50 + x = -30 + 50 Combine like terms: -50 + 50 = 0 0 + x = -30 + 50 x = -30 + 50 Combine like terms: -30 + 50 = 20 x = 20 Simplifying x = 20

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {80, 20}
