1456=14\times 123-14x^{2}
Multiply 13 and 112 to get 1456.
1456=1722-14x^{2}
Multiply 14 and 123 to get 1722.
1722-14x^{2}=1456
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-14x^{2}=1456-1722
Subtract 1722 from both sides.
-14x^{2}=-266
Subtract 1722 from 1456 to get -266.
x^{2}=\frac{-266}{-14}
Divide both sides by -14.
x^{2}=19
Divide -266 by -14 to get 19.
x=\sqrt{19} x=-\sqrt{19}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
1456=14\times 123-14x^{2}
Multiply 13 and 112 to get 1456.
1456=1722-14x^{2}
Multiply 14 and 123 to get 1722.
1722-14x^{2}=1456
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
1722-14x^{2}-1456=0
Subtract 1456 from both sides.
266-14x^{2}=0
Subtract 1456 from 1722 to get 266.
-14x^{2}+266=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\left(-14\right)\times 266}}{2\left(-14\right)}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute -14 for a, 0 for b, and 266 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-14\right)\times 266}}{2\left(-14\right)}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{56\times 266}}{2\left(-14\right)}
Multiply -4 times -14.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{14896}}{2\left(-14\right)}
Multiply 56 times 266.
x=\frac{0±28\sqrt{19}}{2\left(-14\right)}
Take the square root of 14896.
x=\frac{0±28\sqrt{19}}{-28}
Multiply 2 times -14.
x=-\sqrt{19}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±28\sqrt{19}}{-28} when ± is plus.
x=\sqrt{19}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±28\sqrt{19}}{-28} when ± is minus.
x=-\sqrt{19} x=\sqrt{19}
The equation is now solved.
