25x^{2}+3\times 50x=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by 9, the least common multiple of 9,3.
25x^{2}+150x=0
Multiply 3 and 50 to get 150.
x\left(25x+150\right)=0
Factor out x.
x=0 x=-6
To find equation solutions, solve x=0 and 25x+150=0.
25x^{2}+3\times 50x=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by 9, the least common multiple of 9,3.
25x^{2}+150x=0
Multiply 3 and 50 to get 150.
x=\frac{-150±\sqrt{150^{2}}}{2\times 25}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 25 for a, 150 for b, and 0 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{-150±150}{2\times 25}
Take the square root of 150^{2}.
x=\frac{-150±150}{50}
Multiply 2 times 25.
x=\frac{0}{50}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{-150±150}{50} when ± is plus. Add -150 to 150.
x=0
Divide 0 by 50.
x=-\frac{300}{50}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{-150±150}{50} when ± is minus. Subtract 150 from -150.
x=-6
Divide -300 by 50.
x=0 x=-6
The equation is now solved.
25x^{2}+3\times 50x=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by 9, the least common multiple of 9,3.
25x^{2}+150x=0
Multiply 3 and 50 to get 150.
\frac{25x^{2}+150x}{25}=\frac{0}{25}
Divide both sides by 25.
x^{2}+\frac{150}{25}x=\frac{0}{25}
Dividing by 25 undoes the multiplication by 25.
x^{2}+6x=\frac{0}{25}
Divide 150 by 25.
x^{2}+6x=0
Divide 0 by 25.
x^{2}+6x+3^{2}=3^{2}
Divide 6, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get 3. Then add the square of 3 to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x^{2}+6x+9=9
Square 3.
\left(x+3\right)^{2}=9
Factor x^{2}+6x+9. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(x+3\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{9}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x+3=3 x+3=-3
Simplify.
x=0 x=-6
Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
