The equation you provided is:

7 + √(-36 - 5x) * 5 = 250

Let's start by isolating the square root term by subtracting 7 from both sides:

√(-36 - 5x) * 5 = 243

Now we can isolate the square root term by dividing both sides by 5:

√(-36 - 5x) = 243/5

Squaring both sides, we get:

-36 - 5x = (243/5)^2

Simplifying the right side, we get:

-36 - 5x = 11808/25

Adding 36 to both sides, we get:

-5x = 11808/25 + 36

Simplifying the right side, we get:

-5x = 11808/25 + 900/25

Combining the fractions on the right side, we get:

-5x = 12708/25

Dividing both sides by -5, we get:

x = -12708/125

So the value of x that solves the equation is x = -101.664.

Good luck!
