2t\times 3t=450\times 2
Multiply both sides by 2.
t\times 3t=450
Cancel out 2 on both sides.
t^{2}\times 3=450
Multiply t and t to get t^{2}.
t^{2}=\frac{450}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
t^{2}=150
Divide 450 by 3 to get 150.
t=5\sqrt{6} t=-5\sqrt{6}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
2t\times 3t=450\times 2
Multiply both sides by 2.
t\times 3t=450
Cancel out 2 on both sides.
t^{2}\times 3=450
Multiply t and t to get t^{2}.
t^{2}\times 3-450=0
Subtract 450 from both sides.
3t^{2}-450=0
Quadratic equations like this one, with an x^{2} term but no x term, can still be solved using the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}, once they are put in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0.
t=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 3\left(-450\right)}}{2\times 3}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 3 for a, 0 for b, and -450 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
t=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 3\left(-450\right)}}{2\times 3}
Square 0.
t=\frac{0±\sqrt{-12\left(-450\right)}}{2\times 3}
Multiply -4 times 3.
t=\frac{0±\sqrt{5400}}{2\times 3}
Multiply -12 times -450.
t=\frac{0±30\sqrt{6}}{2\times 3}
Take the square root of 5400.
t=\frac{0±30\sqrt{6}}{6}
Multiply 2 times 3.
t=5\sqrt{6}
Now solve the equation t=\frac{0±30\sqrt{6}}{6} when ± is plus.
t=-5\sqrt{6}
Now solve the equation t=\frac{0±30\sqrt{6}}{6} when ± is minus.
t=5\sqrt{6} t=-5\sqrt{6}
The equation is now solved.
