-717x^{2}+81=1
Combine 21x^{2} and -738x^{2} to get -717x^{2}.
-717x^{2}=1-81
Subtract 81 from both sides.
-717x^{2}=-80
Subtract 81 from 1 to get -80.
x^{2}=\frac{-80}{-717}
Divide both sides by -717.
x^{2}=\frac{80}{717}
Fraction \frac{-80}{-717} can be simplified to \frac{80}{717} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
x=\frac{4\sqrt{3585}}{717} x=-\frac{4\sqrt{3585}}{717}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
-717x^{2}+81=1
Combine 21x^{2} and -738x^{2} to get -717x^{2}.
-717x^{2}+81-1=0
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-717x^{2}+80=0
Subtract 1 from 81 to get 80.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-717\right)\times 80}}{2\left(-717\right)}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute -717 for a, 0 for b, and 80 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-717\right)\times 80}}{2\left(-717\right)}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{2868\times 80}}{2\left(-717\right)}
Multiply -4 times -717.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{229440}}{2\left(-717\right)}
Multiply 2868 times 80.
x=\frac{0±8\sqrt{3585}}{2\left(-717\right)}
Take the square root of 229440.
x=\frac{0±8\sqrt{3585}}{-1434}
Multiply 2 times -717.
x=-\frac{4\sqrt{3585}}{717}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±8\sqrt{3585}}{-1434} when ± is plus.
x=\frac{4\sqrt{3585}}{717}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±8\sqrt{3585}}{-1434} when ± is minus.
x=-\frac{4\sqrt{3585}}{717} x=\frac{4\sqrt{3585}}{717}
The equation is now solved.
