x^{2}+20x+100=x^{2}+50^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x+10\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+20x+100=x^{2}+2500
Calculate 50 to the power of 2 and get 2500.
x^{2}+20x+100-x^{2}=2500
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
20x+100=2500
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
20x=2500-100
Subtract 100 from both sides.
20x=2400
Subtract 100 from 2500 to get 2400.
x=\frac{2400}{20}
Divide both sides by 20.
x=120
Divide 2400 by 20 to get 120.
