Let, number is x and there is number 10 more than this = x+10. product of both these numbers is -25
x (x+10) = -25
x^2+10x = -25 ( distributing x )
x^2+ 10x + 25 = 0 ( adding 25 on both sides)
This is a perfect square trinomial
(x)^2 + 2 (x)(5) + (5)^2 = 0
(x+5)^2 = 0
taking square root on both sides
x+5= 0
x = -5 ( double root )
