 2      
x  = -74
$$x^{2} = -74$$
Detail solution
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.

The equation is transformed from
$$x^{2} = -74$$
to
$$x^{2} + 74 = 0$$
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
$$a = 1$$
$$b = 0$$
$$c = 74$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(0)^2 - 4 * (1) * (74) = -296

Because D<0, then the equation
has no real roots,
but complex roots is exists.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

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

or
$$x_{1} = \sqrt{74} i$$
$$x_{2} = - \sqrt{74} i$$
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced quadratic equation
$$p x + q + x^{2} = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = 0$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = 74$$
Vieta Formulas
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = - p$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = q$$
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = 0$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = 74$$
