25x^{2}+20x+4=\left(3+3x\right)^{2}+\left(1+4x\right)^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(5x+2\right)^{2}.
25x^{2}+20x+4=9+18x+9x^{2}+\left(1+4x\right)^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(3+3x\right)^{2}.
25x^{2}+20x+4=9+18x+9x^{2}+1+8x+16x^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(1+4x\right)^{2}.
25x^{2}+20x+4=10+18x+9x^{2}+8x+16x^{2}
Add 9 and 1 to get 10.
25x^{2}+20x+4=10+26x+9x^{2}+16x^{2}
Combine 18x and 8x to get 26x.
25x^{2}+20x+4=10+26x+25x^{2}
Combine 9x^{2} and 16x^{2} to get 25x^{2}.
25x^{2}+20x+4-26x=10+25x^{2}
Subtract 26x from both sides.
25x^{2}-6x+4=10+25x^{2}
Combine 20x and -26x to get -6x.
25x^{2}-6x+4-25x^{2}=10
Subtract 25x^{2} from both sides.
-6x+4=10
Combine 25x^{2} and -25x^{2} to get 0.
-6x=10-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
-6x=6
Subtract 4 from 10 to get 6.
x=\frac{6}{-6}
Divide both sides by -6.
x=-1
Divide 6 by -6 to get -1.
