\left(2x+x\right)x=96
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
3xx=96
Combine 2x and x to get 3x.
3x^{2}=96
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
x^{2}=\frac{96}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x^{2}=32
Divide 96 by 3 to get 32.
x=4\sqrt{2} x=-4\sqrt{2}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
\left(2x+x\right)x=96
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
3xx=96
Combine 2x and x to get 3x.
3x^{2}=96
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
3x^{2}-96=0
Subtract 96 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 3\left(-96\right)}}{2\times 3}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 3 for a, 0 for b, and -96 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 3\left(-96\right)}}{2\times 3}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-12\left(-96\right)}}{2\times 3}
Multiply -4 times 3.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{1152}}{2\times 3}
Multiply -12 times -96.
x=\frac{0±24\sqrt{2}}{2\times 3}
Take the square root of 1152.
x=\frac{0±24\sqrt{2}}{6}
Multiply 2 times 3.
x=4\sqrt{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±24\sqrt{2}}{6} when ± is plus.
x=-4\sqrt{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±24\sqrt{2}}{6} when ± is minus.
x=4\sqrt{2} x=-4\sqrt{2}
The equation is now solved.
