All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. The quadratic formula gives two solutions, one when ± is addition and one when it is subtraction.
x=\frac{-\left(-390\right)±\sqrt{\left(-390\right)^{2}}}{2\times 17550}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 17550 for a, -390 for b, and 0 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{-\left(-390\right)±390}{2\times 17550}

x=\frac{390±390}{35100}
Multiply 2 times 17550.
x=\frac{780}{35100}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{390±390}{35100} when ± is plus. Add 390 to 390.
x=\frac{1}{45}
Reduce the fraction \frac{780}{35100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 780.
x=\frac{0}{35100}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{390±390}{35100} when ± is minus. Subtract 390 from 390.
x=0
Divide 0 by 35100.
x=\frac{1}{45} x=0
The equation is now solved.

Quadratic equations such as this one can be solved by completing the square. In order to complete the square, the equation must first be in the form x^{2}+bx=c.
\frac{17550x^{2}-390x}{17550}=\frac{0}{17550}
Divide both sides by 17550.
x^{2}+\left(-\frac{390}{17550}\right)x=\frac{0}{17550}
Dividing by 17550 undoes the multiplication by 17550.

Divide 0 by 17550.
x^{2}-\frac{1}{45}x+\left(-\frac{1}{90}\right)^{2}=\left(-\frac{1}{90}\right)^{2}
Divide -\frac{1}{45}, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get -\frac{1}{90}. Then add the square of -\frac{1}{90} to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x^{2}-\frac{1}{45}x+\frac{1}{8100}=\frac{1}{8100}
Square -\frac{1}{90} by squaring both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
\left(x-\frac{1}{90}\right)^{2}=\frac{1}{8100}
Factor x^{2}-\frac{1}{45}x+\frac{1}{8100}. 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}{90}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{8100}}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x-\frac{1}{90}=\frac{1}{90} x-\frac{1}{90}=-\frac{1}{90}
Simplify.
x=\frac{1}{45} x=0
Add \frac{1}{90} to both sides of the equation.
