Solve for x:
First subtract from both sides.
Now add 10 to both sides.
Next, subtract x from both sides to leave the by itself.
Now square both sides.
Subtract 9x from both sides.
Factor the trinomial.
Apply the zero product rule.
or so...
or But notice that while x = 4 is a valid root, x = 25 is an "extraneous" root introduced during the process by squaring, so x=25 does not work.
