x^{2}=\frac{50}{81}
Divide both sides by 81.
x=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{9} x=-\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{9}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}=\frac{50}{81}
Divide both sides by 81.
x^{2}-\frac{50}{81}=0
Subtract \frac{50}{81} from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-\frac{50}{81}\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -\frac{50}{81} for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-\frac{50}{81}\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{\frac{200}{81}}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -\frac{50}{81}.
x=\frac{0±\frac{10\sqrt{2}}{9}}{2}
Take the square root of \frac{200}{81}.
x=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{9}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{10\sqrt{2}}{9}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{9}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{10\sqrt{2}}{9}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{9} x=-\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{9}
The equation is now solved.
