x^{2}-20110x=0
Subtract 20110x from both sides.
x\left(x-20110\right)=0
Factor out x.
x=0 x=20110
To find equation solutions, solve x=0 and x-20110=0.
x^{2}-20110x=0
Subtract 20110x from both sides.
x=\frac{-\left(-20110\right)±\sqrt{\left(-20110\right)^{2}}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, -20110 for b, and 0 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{-\left(-20110\right)±20110}{2}
Take the square root of \left(-20110\right)^{2}.
x=\frac{20110±20110}{2}
The opposite of -20110 is 20110.
x=\frac{40220}{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{20110±20110}{2} when ± is plus. Add 20110 to 20110.
x=20110
Divide 40220 by 2.
x=\frac{0}{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{20110±20110}{2} when ± is minus. Subtract 20110 from 20110.
x=0
Divide 0 by 2.
x=20110 x=0
The equation is now solved.
x^{2}-20110x=0
Subtract 20110x from both sides.
x^{2}-20110x+\left(-10055\right)^{2}=\left(-10055\right)^{2}
Divide -20110, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get -10055. Then add the square of -10055 to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x^{2}-20110x+101103025=101103025
Square -10055.
\left(x-10055\right)^{2}=101103025
Factor x^{2}-20110x+101103025. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(x-10055\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{101103025}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x-10055=10055 x-10055=-10055
Simplify.
x=20110 x=0
Add 10055 to both sides of the equation.
