32^{2}=x^{2}\times 9\times 9+x\times 21x\times 21
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
32^{2}=x^{2}\times 9\times 9+x^{2}\times 21\times 21
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
1024=x^{2}\times 9\times 9+x^{2}\times 21\times 21
Calculate 32 to the power of 2 and get 1024.
1024=x^{2}\times 81+x^{2}\times 21\times 21
Multiply 9 and 9 to get 81.
1024=x^{2}\times 81+x^{2}\times 441
Multiply 21 and 21 to get 441.
1024=522x^{2}
Combine x^{2}\times 81 and x^{2}\times 441 to get 522x^{2}.
522x^{2}=1024
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x^{2}=\frac{1024}{522}
Divide both sides by 522.
x^{2}=\frac{512}{261}
Reduce the fraction \frac{1024}{522} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
x=\frac{16\sqrt{58}}{87} x=-\frac{16\sqrt{58}}{87}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
32^{2}=x^{2}\times 9\times 9+x\times 21x\times 21
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
32^{2}=x^{2}\times 9\times 9+x^{2}\times 21\times 21
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
1024=x^{2}\times 9\times 9+x^{2}\times 21\times 21
Calculate 32 to the power of 2 and get 1024.
1024=x^{2}\times 81+x^{2}\times 21\times 21
Multiply 9 and 9 to get 81.
1024=x^{2}\times 81+x^{2}\times 441
Multiply 21 and 21 to get 441.
1024=522x^{2}
Combine x^{2}\times 81 and x^{2}\times 441 to get 522x^{2}.
522x^{2}=1024
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
522x^{2}-1024=0
Subtract 1024 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 522\left(-1024\right)}}{2\times 522}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 522 for a, 0 for b, and -1024 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 522\left(-1024\right)}}{2\times 522}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-2088\left(-1024\right)}}{2\times 522}
Multiply -4 times 522.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{2138112}}{2\times 522}
Multiply -2088 times -1024.
x=\frac{0±192\sqrt{58}}{2\times 522}
Take the square root of 2138112.
x=\frac{0±192\sqrt{58}}{1044}
Multiply 2 times 522.
x=\frac{16\sqrt{58}}{87}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±192\sqrt{58}}{1044} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{16\sqrt{58}}{87}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±192\sqrt{58}}{1044} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{16\sqrt{58}}{87} x=-\frac{16\sqrt{58}}{87}
The equation is now solved.
