x^{2}+10x+25+4\left(3x-4\right)\geq 0
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x+5\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+10x+25+12x-16\geq 0
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 3x-4.
x^{2}+22x+25-16\geq 0
Combine 10x and 12x to get 22x.
x^{2}+22x+9\geq 0
Subtract 16 from 25 to get 9.
x^{2}+22x+9=0
To solve the inequality, factor the left hand side. Quadratic polynomial can be factored using the transformation ax^{2}+bx+c=a\left(x-x_{1}\right)\left(x-x_{2}\right), where x_{1} and x_{2} are the solutions of the quadratic equation ax^{2}+bx+c=0.
x=\frac{-22±\sqrt{22^{2}-4\times 1\times 9}}{2}
All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. Substitute 1 for a, 22 for b, and 9 for c in the quadratic formula.
x=\frac{-22±8\sqrt{7}}{2}
Do the calculations.
x=4\sqrt{7}-11 x=-4\sqrt{7}-11
Solve the equation x=\frac{-22±8\sqrt{7}}{2} when ± is plus and when ± is minus.
\left(x-\left(4\sqrt{7}-11\right)\right)\left(x-\left(-4\sqrt{7}-11\right)\right)\geq 0
Rewrite the inequality by using the obtained solutions.
x-\left(4\sqrt{7}-11\right)\leq 0 x-\left(-4\sqrt{7}-11\right)\leq 0
For the product to be ≥0, x-\left(4\sqrt{7}-11\right) and x-\left(-4\sqrt{7}-11\right) have to be both ≤0 or both ≥0. Consider the case when x-\left(4\sqrt{7}-11\right) and x-\left(-4\sqrt{7}-11\right) are both ≤0.
x\leq -4\sqrt{7}-11
The solution satisfying both inequalities is x\leq -4\sqrt{7}-11.
x-\left(-4\sqrt{7}-11\right)\geq 0 x-\left(4\sqrt{7}-11\right)\geq 0
Consider the case when x-\left(4\sqrt{7}-11\right) and x-\left(-4\sqrt{7}-11\right) are both ≥0.
x\geq 4\sqrt{7}-11
The solution satisfying both inequalities is x\geq 4\sqrt{7}-11.
x\leq -4\sqrt{7}-11\text{; }x\geq 4\sqrt{7}-11
The final solution is the union of the obtained solutions.
