15x^{2}-4\times 10x^{2}-300=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 4,3.
15x^{2}-40x^{2}-300=0
Multiply -4 and 10 to get -40.
-25x^{2}-300=0
Combine 15x^{2} and -40x^{2} to get -25x^{2}.
-25x^{2}=300
Add 300 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x^{2}=\frac{300}{-25}
Divide both sides by -25.
x^{2}=-12
Divide 300 by -25 to get -12.
x=2\sqrt{3}i x=-2\sqrt{3}i
The equation is now solved.
15x^{2}-4\times 10x^{2}-300=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 4,3.
15x^{2}-40x^{2}-300=0
Multiply -4 and 10 to get -40.
-25x^{2}-300=0
Combine 15x^{2} and -40x^{2} to get -25x^{2}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-25\right)\left(-300\right)}}{2\left(-25\right)}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute -25 for a, 0 for b, and -300 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-25\right)\left(-300\right)}}{2\left(-25\right)}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{100\left(-300\right)}}{2\left(-25\right)}
Multiply -4 times -25.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-30000}}{2\left(-25\right)}
Multiply 100 times -300.
x=\frac{0±100\sqrt{3}i}{2\left(-25\right)}
Take the square root of -30000.
x=\frac{0±100\sqrt{3}i}{-50}
Multiply 2 times -25.
x=-2\sqrt{3}i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±100\sqrt{3}i}{-50} when ± is plus.
x=2\sqrt{3}i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±100\sqrt{3}i}{-50} when ± is minus.
x=-2\sqrt{3}i x=2\sqrt{3}i
The equation is now solved.
