x^{2}+36=\left(x+2\right)^{2}
Calculate 6 to the power of 2 and get 36.
x^{2}+36=x^{2}+4x+4
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x+2\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+36-x^{2}=4x+4
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
36=4x+4
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
4x+4=36
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
4x=36-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
4x=32
Subtract 4 from 36 to get 32.
x=\frac{32}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=8
Divide 32 by 4 to get 8.
