10x^{2}-43=0
Subtract 80 from 37 to get -43.
10x^{2}=43
Add 43 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x^{2}=\frac{43}{10}
Divide both sides by 10.
x=\frac{\sqrt{430}}{10} x=-\frac{\sqrt{430}}{10}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
10x^{2}-43=0
Subtract 80 from 37 to get -43.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 10\left(-43\right)}}{2\times 10}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 10 for a, 0 for b, and -43 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 10\left(-43\right)}}{2\times 10}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-40\left(-43\right)}}{2\times 10}
Multiply -4 times 10.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{1720}}{2\times 10}
Multiply -40 times -43.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{430}}{2\times 10}
Take the square root of 1720.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{430}}{20}
Multiply 2 times 10.
x=\frac{\sqrt{430}}{10}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{430}}{20} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{430}}{10}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{430}}{20} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{430}}{10} x=-\frac{\sqrt{430}}{10}
The equation is now solved.
