4x^{2}=16\times 3
Combine x^{2} and 3x^{2} to get 4x^{2}.
4x^{2}=48
Multiply 16 and 3 to get 48.
x^{2}=\frac{48}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x^{2}=12
Divide 48 by 4 to get 12.
x=2\sqrt{3} x=-2\sqrt{3}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
4x^{2}=16\times 3
Combine x^{2} and 3x^{2} to get 4x^{2}.
4x^{2}=48
Multiply 16 and 3 to get 48.
4x^{2}-48=0
Subtract 48 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 4\left(-48\right)}}{2\times 4}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 4 for a, 0 for b, and -48 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 4\left(-48\right)}}{2\times 4}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-16\left(-48\right)}}{2\times 4}
Multiply -4 times 4.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{768}}{2\times 4}
Multiply -16 times -48.
x=\frac{0±16\sqrt{3}}{2\times 4}
Take the square root of 768.
x=\frac{0±16\sqrt{3}}{8}
Multiply 2 times 4.
x=2\sqrt{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±16\sqrt{3}}{8} when ± is plus.
x=-2\sqrt{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±16\sqrt{3}}{8} when ± is minus.
x=2\sqrt{3} x=-2\sqrt{3}
The equation is now solved.
