31=c^{2}
Add 25 and 6 to get 31.
c^{2}=31
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
c=\sqrt{31} c=-\sqrt{31}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
31=c^{2}
Add 25 and 6 to get 31.
c^{2}=31
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
c^{2}-31=0
Subtract 31 from both sides.
c=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-31\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -31 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
c=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-31\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
c=\frac{0±\sqrt{124}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -31.
c=\frac{0±2\sqrt{31}}{2}
Take the square root of 124.
c=\sqrt{31}
Now solve the equation c=\frac{0±2\sqrt{31}}{2} when ± is plus.
c=-\sqrt{31}
Now solve the equation c=\frac{0±2\sqrt{31}}{2} when ± is minus.
c=\sqrt{31} c=-\sqrt{31}
The equation is now solved.
