The solution

       2    
(x + 5)  = 5
$$\left(x + 5\right)^{2} = 5$$
Detail solution
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.

The equation is transformed from
$$\left(x + 5\right)^{2} = 5$$
to
$$\left(x + 5\right)^{2} - 5 = 0$$
Expand the expression in the equation
$$\left(x + 5\right)^{2} - 5 = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$x^{2} + 10 x + 20 = 0$$
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
$$a = 1$$
$$b = 10$$
$$c = 20$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(10)^2 - 4 * (1) * (20) = 20

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

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

or
$$x_{1} = -5 + \sqrt{5}$$
$$x_{2} = -5 - \sqrt{5}$$
