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 \frac{1}{2}\left(-\frac{22}{3}\right)}}{2\times \frac{1}{2}}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute \frac{1}{2} for a, 0 for b, and -\frac{22}{3} for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times \frac{1}{2}\left(-\frac{22}{3}\right)}}{2\times \frac{1}{2}}
