  1. Identify the quadratic equation: Identify the quadratic equation to be solved.\newlineThe given quadratic equation is x220x+100=0x^2 - 20x + 100 = 0.
  2. Determine factoring possibility: Determine if the quadratic can be factored easily.\newlineWe need to find two numbers that multiply to 100100 and add up to 20-20. The numbers 10-10 and 10-10 fit these criteria.
  3. Write factored form: Write the factored form of the quadratic equation.\newlineThe equation can be factored as (x10)(x10)=0(x - 10)(x - 10) = 0.
  4. Solve for x: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x.\newlineFirst factor: x10=0x - 10 = 0, so x=10x = 10.\newlineSecond factor: Since it is the same as the first factor, it will give the same solution, x=10x = 10.
  5. State the solution: State the solution to the quadratic equation.\newlineThe solution is x=10x = 10, which is a repeated root since both factors are the same.
