2x^{2}\times 3=18
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
6x^{2}=18
Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.
x^{2}=\frac{18}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x^{2}=3
Divide 18 by 6 to get 3.
x=\sqrt{3} x=-\sqrt{3}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
2x^{2}\times 3=18
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
6x^{2}=18
Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.
6x^{2}-18=0
Subtract 18 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 6\left(-18\right)}}{2\times 6}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 6 for a, 0 for b, and -18 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 6\left(-18\right)}}{2\times 6}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-24\left(-18\right)}}{2\times 6}
Multiply -4 times 6.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{432}}{2\times 6}
Multiply -24 times -18.
x=\frac{0±12\sqrt{3}}{2\times 6}
Take the square root of 432.
x=\frac{0±12\sqrt{3}}{12}
Multiply 2 times 6.
x=\sqrt{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±12\sqrt{3}}{12} when ± is plus.
x=-\sqrt{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±12\sqrt{3}}{12} when ± is minus.
x=\sqrt{3} x=-\sqrt{3}
The equation is now solved.
