x^{2}+12x+36=\left(64+x\right)^{2}+100
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x+6\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+12x+36=4096+128x+x^{2}+100
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(64+x\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+12x+36=4196+128x+x^{2}
Add 4096 and 100 to get 4196.
x^{2}+12x+36-128x=4196+x^{2}
Subtract 128x from both sides.
x^{2}-116x+36=4196+x^{2}
Combine 12x and -128x to get -116x.
x^{2}-116x+36-x^{2}=4196
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
-116x+36=4196
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
-116x=4196-36
Subtract 36 from both sides.
-116x=4160
Subtract 36 from 4196 to get 4160.
x=\frac{4160}{-116}
Divide both sides by -116.
x=-\frac{1040}{29}
Reduce the fraction \frac{4160}{-116} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.
