-10x^{2}\times 2-10xx=3x
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
-10x^{2}\times 2-10x^{2}=3x
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
-20x^{2}-10x^{2}=3x
Multiply -10 and 2 to get -20.
-30x^{2}=3x
Combine -20x^{2} and -10x^{2} to get -30x^{2}.
-30x^{2}-3x=0
Subtract 3x from both sides.
x\left(-30x-3\right)=0
Factor out x.
x=0 x=-\frac{1}{10}
To find equation solutions, solve x=0 and -30x-3=0.
-10x^{2}\times 2-10xx=3x
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
-10x^{2}\times 2-10x^{2}=3x
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
-20x^{2}-10x^{2}=3x
Multiply -10 and 2 to get -20.
-30x^{2}=3x
Combine -20x^{2} and -10x^{2} to get -30x^{2}.
-30x^{2}-3x=0
Subtract 3x from both sides.
x=\frac{-\left(-3\right)±\sqrt{\left(-3\right)^{2}}}{2\left(-30\right)}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute -30 for a, -3 for b, and 0 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{-\left(-3\right)±3}{2\left(-30\right)}
Take the square root of \left(-3\right)^{2}.
x=\frac{3±3}{2\left(-30\right)}
The opposite of -3 is 3.
x=\frac{3±3}{-60}
Multiply 2 times -30.
x=\frac{6}{-60}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{3±3}{-60} when ± is plus. Add 3 to 3.
x=-\frac{1}{10}
Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{-60} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 6.
x=\frac{0}{-60}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{3±3}{-60} when ± is minus. Subtract 3 from 3.
x=0
Divide 0 by -60.
x=-\frac{1}{10} x=0
The equation is now solved.
-10x^{2}\times 2-10xx=3x
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
-10x^{2}\times 2-10x^{2}=3x
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
-20x^{2}-10x^{2}=3x
Multiply -10 and 2 to get -20.
-30x^{2}=3x
Combine -20x^{2} and -10x^{2} to get -30x^{2}.
-30x^{2}-3x=0
Subtract 3x from both sides.
\frac{-30x^{2}-3x}{-30}=\frac{0}{-30}
Divide both sides by -30.
x^{2}+\left(-\frac{3}{-30}\right)x=\frac{0}{-30}
Dividing by -30 undoes the multiplication by -30.
x^{2}+\frac{1}{10}x=\frac{0}{-30}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-3}{-30} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
x^{2}+\frac{1}{10}x=0
Divide 0 by -30.
x^{2}+\frac{1}{10}x+\left(\frac{1}{20}\right)^{2}=\left(\frac{1}{20}\right)^{2}
Divide \frac{1}{10}, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get \frac{1}{20}. Then add the square of \frac{1}{20} to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x^{2}+\frac{1}{10}x+\frac{1}{400}=\frac{1}{400}
Square \frac{1}{20} by squaring both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
\left(x+\frac{1}{20}\right)^{2}=\frac{1}{400}
Factor x^{2}+\frac{1}{10}x+\frac{1}{400}. 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+\frac{1}{20}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{400}}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x+\frac{1}{20}=\frac{1}{20} x+\frac{1}{20}=-\frac{1}{20}
Simplify.
x=0 x=-\frac{1}{10}
Subtract \frac{1}{20} from both sides of the equation.
