2.5\left(16+8x+x^{2}\right)+7\left(5-x\right)\left(5+x\right)=295-4.5x^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(4+x\right)^{2}.
40+20x+2.5x^{2}+7\left(5-x\right)\left(5+x\right)=295-4.5x^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply 2.5 by 16+8x+x^{2}.
40+20x+2.5x^{2}+\left(35-7x\right)\left(5+x\right)=295-4.5x^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply 7 by 5-x.
40+20x+2.5x^{2}+175-7x^{2}=295-4.5x^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply 35-7x by 5+x and combine like terms.
215+20x+2.5x^{2}-7x^{2}=295-4.5x^{2}
Add 40 and 175 to get 215.
215+20x-4.5x^{2}=295-4.5x^{2}
Combine 2.5x^{2} and -7x^{2} to get -4.5x^{2}.
215+20x-4.5x^{2}+4.5x^{2}=295
Add 4.5x^{2} to both sides.
215+20x=295
Combine -4.5x^{2} and 4.5x^{2} to get 0.
20x=295-215
Subtract 215 from both sides.
20x=80
Subtract 215 from 295 to get 80.
x=\frac{80}{20}
Divide both sides by 20.
x=4
Divide 80 by 20 to get 4.
