x^{2}+2\times 25=\left(12\times 5-x\right)^{2}
Calculate 5 to the power of 2 and get 25.
x^{2}+50=\left(12\times 5-x\right)^{2}
Multiply 2 and 25 to get 50.
x^{2}+50=\left(60-x\right)^{2}
Multiply 12 and 5 to get 60.
x^{2}+50=3600-120x+x^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(60-x\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+50+120x=3600+x^{2}
Add 120x to both sides.
x^{2}+50+120x-x^{2}=3600
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
50+120x=3600
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
120x=3600-50
Subtract 50 from both sides.
120x=3550
Subtract 50 from 3600 to get 3550.
x=\frac{3550}{120}
Divide both sides by 120.
x=\frac{355}{12}
Reduce the fraction \frac{3550}{120} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 10.
