x^{2}+8100=\left(x+30\right)^{2}
Calculate 90 to the power of 2 and get 8100.
x^{2}+8100=x^{2}+60x+900
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x+30\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+8100-x^{2}=60x+900
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
8100=60x+900
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
60x+900=8100
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
60x=8100-900
Subtract 900 from both sides.
60x=7200
Subtract 900 from 8100 to get 7200.
x=\frac{7200}{60}
Divide both sides by 60.
x=120
Divide 7200 by 60 to get 120.
