1+1=x^{2}\times 0.36
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
2=x^{2}\times 0.36
Add 1 and 1 to get 2.
x^{2}\times 0.36=2
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x^{2}=\frac{2}{0.36}
Divide both sides by 0.36.
x^{2}=\frac{200}{36}
Expand \frac{2}{0.36} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.
x^{2}=\frac{50}{9}
Reduce the fraction \frac{200}{36} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.
x=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{3} x=-\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{3}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
1+1=x^{2}\times 0.36

2=x^{2}\times 0.36
Add 1 and 1 to get 2.
x^{2}\times 0.36=2
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x^{2}\times 0.36-2=0
Subtract 2 from both sides.
0.36x^{2}-2=0
Quadratic equations like this one, with an x^{2} term but no x term, can still be solved using the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}, once they are put in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 0.36\left(-2\right)}}{2\times 0.36}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 0.36 for a, 0 for b, and -2 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 0.36\left(-2\right)}}{2\times 0.36}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-1.44\left(-2\right)}}{2\times 0.36}
Multiply -4 times 0.36.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{2.88}}{2\times 0.36}
Multiply -1.44 times -2.
x=\frac{0±\frac{6\sqrt{2}}{5}}{2\times 0.36}
Take the square root of 2.88.
x=\frac{0±\frac{6\sqrt{2}}{5}}{0.72}
Multiply 2 times 0.36.
x=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{6\sqrt{2}}{5}}{0.72} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{6\sqrt{2}}{5}}{0.72} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{3} x=-\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{3}
The equation is now solved.
