61x^{2}-900=0
Combine 25x^{2} and 36x^{2} to get 61x^{2}.
61x^{2}=900
Add 900 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x^{2}=\frac{900}{61}
Divide both sides by 61.
x=\frac{30\sqrt{61}}{61} x=-\frac{30\sqrt{61}}{61}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
61x^{2}-900=0
Combine 25x^{2} and 36x^{2} to get 61x^{2}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 61\left(-900\right)}}{2\times 61}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 61 for a, 0 for b, and -900 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 61\left(-900\right)}}{2\times 61}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-244\left(-900\right)}}{2\times 61}
Multiply -4 times 61.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{219600}}{2\times 61}
Multiply -244 times -900.
x=\frac{0±60\sqrt{61}}{2\times 61}
Take the square root of 219600.
x=\frac{0±60\sqrt{61}}{122}
Multiply 2 times 61.
x=\frac{30\sqrt{61}}{61}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±60\sqrt{61}}{122} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{30\sqrt{61}}{61}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±60\sqrt{61}}{122} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{30\sqrt{61}}{61} x=-\frac{30\sqrt{61}}{61}
The equation is now solved.
