6=8x^{2}
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4x^{2}.
8x^{2}=6
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x^{2}=\frac{6}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
x^{2}=\frac{3}{4}
Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} x=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
6=8x^{2}
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4x^{2}.
8x^{2}=6
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
8x^{2}-6=0
Subtract 6 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 8\left(-6\right)}}{2\times 8}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 8 for a, 0 for b, and -6 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 8\left(-6\right)}}{2\times 8}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-32\left(-6\right)}}{2\times 8}
Multiply -4 times 8.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{192}}{2\times 8}
Multiply -32 times -6.
x=\frac{0±8\sqrt{3}}{2\times 8}
Take the square root of 192.
x=\frac{0±8\sqrt{3}}{16}
Multiply 2 times 8.
x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±8\sqrt{3}}{16} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±8\sqrt{3}}{16} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} x=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
The equation is now solved.
