Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-32500000000x^{2}+32500000000x=-10
Subtract 10 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\frac{-32500000000x^{2}+32500000000x}{-32500000000}=-\frac{10}{-32500000000}

x^{2}-x=-\frac{10}{-32500000000}
Divide 32500000000 by -32500000000.
x^{2}-x=\frac{1}{3250000000}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-10}{-32500000000} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 10.
x^{2}-x+\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}=\frac{1}{3250000000}+\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}
Divide -1, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get -\frac{1}{2}. Then add the square of -\frac{1}{2} to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x^{2}-x+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{3250000000}+\frac{1}{4}
Square -\frac{1}{2} by squaring both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
x^{2}-x+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{812500001}{3250000000}
Add \frac{1}{3250000000} to \frac{1}{4} by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.
\left(x-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}=\frac{812500001}{3250000000}
Factor x^{2}-x+\frac{1}{4}. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(x-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{812500001}{3250000000}}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{105625000130}}{650000} x-\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{\sqrt{105625000130}}{650000}
Simplify.
x=\frac{\sqrt{105625000130}}{650000}+\frac{1}{2} x=-\frac{\sqrt{105625000130}}{650000}+\frac{1}{2}
Add \frac{1}{2} to both sides of the equation.
