x^{2}+62=x^{2}+2x+1-37
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x+1\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+62=x^{2}+2x-36
Subtract 37 from 1 to get -36.
x^{2}+62-x^{2}=2x-36
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
62=2x-36
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
2x-36=62
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2x=62+36
Add 36 to both sides.
2x=98
Add 62 and 36 to get 98.
x=\frac{98}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=49
Divide 98 by 2 to get 49.
