6x^{2}-50x=0
Combine -24x and -26x to get -50x.
x=\frac{-\left(-50\right)±\sqrt{\left(-50\right)^{2}}}{2\times 6}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 6 for a, -50 for b, and 0 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{-\left(-50\right)±50}{2\times 6}
Take the square root of \left(-50\right)^{2}.
x=\frac{50±50}{2\times 6}
The opposite of -50 is 50.
x=\frac{50±50}{12}
Multiply 2 times 6.
x=\frac{100}{12}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{50±50}{12} when ± is plus. Add 50 to 50.
x=\frac{25}{3}
Reduce the fraction \frac{100}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.
x=\frac{0}{12}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{50±50}{12} when ± is minus. Subtract 50 from 50.
x=0
Divide 0 by 12.
x=\frac{25}{3} x=0
The equation is now solved.
9x^{2}-24x+16-3x^{2}=2\left(8+13x\right)
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(3x-4\right)^{2}.
6x^{2}-24x+16=2\left(8+13x\right)
Combine 9x^{2} and -3x^{2} to get 6x^{2}.

Subtract 16 from 16 to get 0.
\frac{6x^{2}-50x}{6}=\frac{0}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x^{2}+\left(-\frac{50}{6}\right)x=\frac{0}{6}
Dividing by 6 undoes the multiplication by 6.
x^{2}-\frac{25}{3}x=\frac{0}{6}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-50}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
x^{2}-\frac{25}{3}x=0
Divide 0 by 6.
x^{2}-\frac{25}{3}x+\left(-\frac{25}{6}\right)^{2}=\left(-\frac{25}{6}\right)^{2}
Divide -\frac{25}{3}, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get -\frac{25}{6}. Then add the square of -\frac{25}{6} to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x^{2}-\frac{25}{3}x+\frac{625}{36}=\frac{625}{36}
Square -\frac{25}{6} by squaring both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
\left(x-\frac{25}{6}\right)^{2}=\frac{625}{36}
Factor x^{2}-\frac{25}{3}x+\frac{625}{36}. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(x-\frac{25}{6}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{625}{36}}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x-\frac{25}{6}=\frac{25}{6} x-\frac{25}{6}=-\frac{25}{6}
Simplify.
x=\frac{25}{3} x=0
Add \frac{25}{6} to both sides of the equation.
