-x^{2}+5-1=2x^{2}\times 2-3
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
-x^{2}+4=2x^{2}\times 2-3
Subtract 1 from 5 to get 4.
-x^{2}+4=4x^{2}-3
Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.
-x^{2}+4-4x^{2}=-3
Subtract 4x^{2} from both sides.
-x^{2}-4x^{2}=-3-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
-x^{2}-4x^{2}=-7
Subtract 4 from -3 to get -7.
-5x^{2}=-7
Combine -x^{2} and -4x^{2} to get -5x^{2}.
x^{2}=\frac{-7}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x^{2}=\frac{7}{5}
Fraction \frac{-7}{-5} can be simplified to \frac{7}{5} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
x=\frac{\sqrt{35}}{5} x=-\frac{\sqrt{35}}{5}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
-x^{2}+5-1=2x^{2}\times 2-3
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
-x^{2}+4=2x^{2}\times 2-3
Subtract 1 from 5 to get 4.
-x^{2}+4=4x^{2}-3
Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.
-x^{2}+4-4x^{2}=-3
Subtract 4x^{2} from both sides.
-x^{2}+4-4x^{2}+3=0
Add 3 to both sides.
-x^{2}+7-4x^{2}=0
Add 4 and 3 to get 7.
-5x^{2}+7=0
Combine -x^{2} and -4x^{2} to get -5x^{2}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-5\right)\times 7}}{2\left(-5\right)}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute -5 for a, 0 for b, and 7 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-5\right)\times 7}}{2\left(-5\right)}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{20\times 7}}{2\left(-5\right)}
Multiply -4 times -5.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{140}}{2\left(-5\right)}
Multiply 20 times 7.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{35}}{2\left(-5\right)}
Take the square root of 140.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{35}}{-10}
Multiply 2 times -5.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{35}}{5}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{35}}{-10} when ± is plus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{35}}{5}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{35}}{-10} when ± is minus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{35}}{5} x=\frac{\sqrt{35}}{5}
The equation is now solved.
