x^{2}=873
Add 432 and 441 to get 873.
x=3\sqrt{97} x=-3\sqrt{97}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}=873
Add 432 and 441 to get 873.
x^{2}-873=0
Subtract 873 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-873\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -873 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-873\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{3492}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -873.
x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{97}}{2}
Take the square root of 3492.
x=3\sqrt{97}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{97}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-3\sqrt{97}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{97}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=3\sqrt{97} x=-3\sqrt{97}
The equation is now solved.
