\frac{345}{4}+\left(x+4\right)^{2}=\frac{121}{4}+x^{2}
Add 80 and \frac{25}{4} to get \frac{345}{4}.
\frac{345}{4}+x^{2}+8x+16=\frac{121}{4}+x^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x+4\right)^{2}.
\frac{409}{4}+x^{2}+8x=\frac{121}{4}+x^{2}
Add \frac{345}{4} and 16 to get \frac{409}{4}.
\frac{409}{4}+x^{2}+8x-x^{2}=\frac{121}{4}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
\frac{409}{4}+8x=\frac{121}{4}
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
8x=\frac{121}{4}-\frac{409}{4}
Subtract \frac{409}{4} from both sides.
8x=-72
Subtract \frac{409}{4} from \frac{121}{4} to get -72.
x=\frac{-72}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
x=-9
Divide -72 by 8 to get -9.
