25 x^4+10 x = 0

Factor x and constant terms from the left hand side:
5 x (5 x^3+2) = 0

Divide both sides by 5:
x (5 x^3+2) = 0

Split into two equations:
x = 0 or 5 x^3+2 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides:
x = 0 or 5 x^3 = -2

Divide both sides by 5:
x = 0 or x^3 = -2/5

Taking cube roots gives (-2/5)^(1/3) times the third roots of unity:
Answer: |x = 0    or    x = (-2/5)^(1/3)    or    x = -(2/5)^(1/3)    or    x = -(-1)^(2/3) (2/5)^(1/3)
