x=\frac{\frac{10397}{12500}±\frac{10397}{12500}}{2\left(-1\right)}
The opposite of -\frac{10397}{12500} is \frac{10397}{12500}.
x=\frac{\frac{10397}{12500}±\frac{10397}{12500}}{-2}
Multiply 2 times -1.
x=\frac{\frac{10397}{6250}}{-2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{\frac{10397}{12500}±\frac{10397}{12500}}{-2} when ± is plus. Add \frac{10397}{12500} to \frac{10397}{12500} by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.
x=-\frac{10397}{12500}
Divide \frac{10397}{6250} by -2.
x=\frac{0}{-2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{\frac{10397}{12500}±\frac{10397}{12500}}{-2} when ± is minus. Subtract \frac{10397}{12500} from \frac{10397}{12500} by finding a common denominator and subtracting the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.
