600-40=50m^{2}
Multiply m and m to get m^{2}.
560=50m^{2}
Subtract 40 from 600 to get 560.
50m^{2}=560
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
m^{2}=\frac{560}{50}
Divide both sides by 50.
m^{2}=\frac{56}{5}
Reduce the fraction \frac{560}{50} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 10.
m=\frac{2\sqrt{70}}{5} m=-\frac{2\sqrt{70}}{5}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
600-40=50m^{2}
Multiply m and m to get m^{2}.
560=50m^{2}
Subtract 40 from 600 to get 560.
50m^{2}=560
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
50m^{2}-560=0
Subtract 560 from both sides.
m=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 50\left(-560\right)}}{2\times 50}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 50 for a, 0 for b, and -560 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
m=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 50\left(-560\right)}}{2\times 50}
Square 0.
m=\frac{0±\sqrt{-200\left(-560\right)}}{2\times 50}
Multiply -4 times 50.
m=\frac{0±\sqrt{112000}}{2\times 50}
Multiply -200 times -560.
m=\frac{0±40\sqrt{70}}{2\times 50}
Take the square root of 112000.
m=\frac{0±40\sqrt{70}}{100}
Multiply 2 times 50.
m=\frac{2\sqrt{70}}{5}
Now solve the equation m=\frac{0±40\sqrt{70}}{100} when ± is plus.
m=-\frac{2\sqrt{70}}{5}
Now solve the equation m=\frac{0±40\sqrt{70}}{100} when ± is minus.
m=\frac{2\sqrt{70}}{5} m=-\frac{2\sqrt{70}}{5}
The equation is now solved.
