x^{2}+50-2x^{2}=25
Subtract 2x^{2} from both sides.
-x^{2}+50=25
Combine x^{2} and -2x^{2} to get -x^{2}.
-x^{2}=25-50
Subtract 50 from both sides.
-x^{2}=-25
Subtract 50 from 25 to get -25.
x^{2}=\frac{-25}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x^{2}=25
Fraction \frac{-25}{-1} can be simplified to 25 by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
x=5 x=-5
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}+50-25=2x^{2}
Subtract 25 from both sides.
x^{2}+25=2x^{2}
Subtract 25 from 50 to get 25.
x^{2}+25-2x^{2}=0
Subtract 2x^{2} from both sides.
-x^{2}+25=0
Combine x^{2} and -2x^{2} to get -x^{2}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-1\right)\times 25}}{2\left(-1\right)}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute -1 for a, 0 for b, and 25 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-1\right)\times 25}}{2\left(-1\right)}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{4\times 25}}{2\left(-1\right)}
Multiply -4 times -1.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{100}}{2\left(-1\right)}
Multiply 4 times 25.
x=\frac{0±10}{2\left(-1\right)}
Take the square root of 100.
x=\frac{0±10}{-2}
Multiply 2 times -1.
x=-5
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±10}{-2} when ± is plus. Divide 10 by -2.
x=5
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±10}{-2} when ± is minus. Divide -10 by -2.
x=-5 x=5
The equation is now solved.
