The solution

You have entered [src]
(2*x - 3)*(2*x - 3) = 25
$$\left(2 x - 3\right) \left(2 x - 3\right) = 25$$
Detail solution
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.

The equation is transformed from
$$\left(2 x - 3\right) \left(2 x - 3\right) = 25$$
to
$$\left(2 x - 3\right) \left(2 x - 3\right) - 25 = 0$$
Expand the expression in the equation
$$\left(2 x - 3\right) \left(2 x - 3\right) - 25 = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$4 x^{2} - 12 x - 16 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 4$$
$$b = -12$$
$$c = -16$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-12)^2 - 4 * (4) * (-16) = 400

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = 4$$
$$x_{2} = -1$$
