The first step in solving the quadratic equation \((X + 10)^2 - 25 = 36\) is to isolate the squared term. To do this, you can start by adding 25 to both sides of the equation:
\[
(X + 10)^2 - 25 + 25 = 36 + 25
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
(X + 10)^2 = 61
\]
From there, you can proceed to take the square root of both sides and solve for \(X\).
\[
(X + 10)^2 - 25 + 25 = 36 + 25
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
(X + 10)^2 = 61
\]
From there, you can proceed to take the square root of both sides and solve for \(X\).
