1. You con solve the quadratic equation x^2+20x+100=50 by following the proccedure below:

2. Pass the number 50 from the right member to the left member. Then you obtain:

x^2+20x+100-50=0
x^2+20x+50=0

3. Then, you must apply the quadratic equation, which is:

x=(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a

x^2+20x+50=0

a=1
b=20
c=50


4. Therefore, when you simplify, the result is:

-10
±5√2 (It is the last option).
