x =(10+√140)/2=5+√ 35 = 10.916  

or:

x =(10-√140)/2=5-√ 35 = -0.916

ANSWER

[tex]x =5 \pm \sqrt{35} [/tex]

EXPLANATION

The given quadratic equation is:

[tex] {x}^{2} - 10x + 25 = 35[/tex]

Group the constants on the RHS,

[tex] {x}^{2} - 10x= 35 - 25[/tex]

[tex] {x}^{2} - 10x= 10[/tex]

Add the square of half the coefficient of x to both sides of the equation,

[tex]{x}^{2} - 10x + ( - {5)}^{2} = 10 + ( - {5)}^{2} [/tex]

[tex]{x}^{2} - 10x + 25= 10 + 25[/tex]

We factor the perfect square to get:

[tex]{(x - 5)}^{2} =35[/tex]

[tex]x - 5 = \pm \sqrt{35} [/tex]

[tex]x =5 \pm \sqrt{35} [/tex]
