m^{2}+22m+121=64
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(m+11\right)^{2}.
m^{2}+22m+121-64=0
Subtract 64 from both sides.
m^{2}+22m+57=0
Subtract 64 from 121 to get 57.
a+b=22 ab=57
To solve the equation, factor m^{2}+22m+57 using formula m^{2}+\left(a+b\right)m+ab=\left(m+a\right)\left(m+b\right). To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.

m^{2}+22m+121=64
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(m+11\right)^{2}.
m^{2}+22m+121-64=0
Subtract 64 from both sides.
m^{2}+22m+57=0
Subtract 64 from 121 to get 57.
m=\frac{-22±\sqrt{22^{2}-4\times 57}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 22 for b, and 57 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
m=\frac{-22±\sqrt{484-4\times 57}}{2}
Square 22.
m=\frac{-22±\sqrt{484-228}}{2}
Multiply -4 times 57.
m=\frac{-22±\sqrt{256}}{2}
Add 484 to -228.
m=\frac{-22±16}{2}
Take the square root of 256.
m=-\frac{6}{2}
Now solve the equation m=\frac{-22±16}{2} when ± is plus. Add -22 to 16.
m=-3
Divide -6 by 2.
m=-\frac{38}{2}
Now solve the equation m=\frac{-22±16}{2} when ± is minus. Subtract 16 from -22.
m=-19
Divide -38 by 2.
m=-3 m=-19
The equation is now solved.
\sqrt{\left(m+11\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{64}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
m+11=8 m+11=-8
Simplify.
m=-3 m=-19
Subtract 11 from both sides of the equation.
