x^{2}=27\times 48
Add 27 and 21 to get 48.
x^{2}=1296
Multiply 27 and 48 to get 1296.
x^{2}-1296=0
Subtract 1296 from both sides.
\left(x-36\right)\left(x+36\right)=0
Consider x^{2}-1296. Rewrite x^{2}-1296 as x^{2}-36^{2}. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).
x=36 x=-36
To find equation solutions, solve x-36=0 and x+36=0.
x^{2}=27\times 48
Add 27 and 21 to get 48.
x^{2}=1296
Multiply 27 and 48 to get 1296.
x=36 x=-36
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}=27\times 48
Add 27 and 21 to get 48.
x^{2}=1296
Multiply 27 and 48 to get 1296.
x^{2}-1296=0
Subtract 1296 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-1296\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -1296 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-1296\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{5184}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -1296.
x=\frac{0±72}{2}
Take the square root of 5184.
x=36
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±72}{2} when ± is plus. Divide 72 by 2.
x=-36
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±72}{2} when ± is minus. Divide -72 by 2.
x=36 x=-36
The equation is now solved.
