-25x + 156.25 + x2 = -46 + 156.25

Reorder the terms:
156.25 + -25x + x2 = -46 + 156.25

Combine like terms: -46 + 156.25 = 110.25
156.25 + -25x + x2 = 110.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -12.5)(x + -12.5) = 110.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 10.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -12.5) equal to 10.5 and -10.5.

Subproblem 1

x + -12.5 = 10.5 Simplifying x + -12.5 = 10.5 Reorder the terms: -12.5 + x = 10.5 Solving -12.5 + x = 10.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '12.5' to each side of the equation. -12.5 + 12.5 + x = 10.5 + 12.5 Combine like terms: -12.5 + 12.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 10.5 + 12.5 x = 10.5 + 12.5 Combine like terms: 10.5 + 12.5 = 23 x = 23 Simplifying x = 23

Subproblem 2

x + -12.5 = -10.5 Simplifying x + -12.5 = -10.5 Reorder the terms: -12.5 + x = -10.5 Solving -12.5 + x = -10.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '12.5' to each side of the equation. -12.5 + 12.5 + x = -10.5 + 12.5 Combine like terms: -12.5 + 12.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -10.5 + 12.5 x = -10.5 + 12.5 Combine like terms: -10.5 + 12.5 = 2 x = 2 Simplifying x = 2

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {23, 2}
