Answer

The equation has no real solutions.

Work Step by Step

$4x^{2}+25=-75$ Subtracting $25$ from both sides, we get $4x^{2}=-100$ Dividing by $4$ on both sides, we obtain $x^{2}=-25$ Taking square root on both sides, we have $x=\pm\sqrt {-25}$ As the square of a real number cannot be negative, there are no real solutions for the equation.
