x=\frac{-\left(-4\right)±\sqrt{\left(-4\right)^{2}}}{2\times 5}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 5 for a, -4 for b, and 0 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{-\left(-4\right)±4}{2\times 5}
Take the square root of \left(-4\right)^{2}.
x=\frac{4±4}{2\times 5}
The opposite of -4 is 4.
x=\frac{4±4}{10}
Multiply 2 times 5.
x=\frac{8}{10}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{4±4}{10} when ± is plus. Add 4 to 4.
x=\frac{4}{5}
Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
x=\frac{0}{10}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{4±4}{10} when ± is minus. Subtract 4 from 4.
x=0
Divide 0 by 10.
x=\frac{4}{5} x=0
The equation is now solved.
6x^{2}+2x\left(x-2\right)=3xx
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
6x^{2}+2x^{2}-4x=3xx
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x by x-2.
8x^{2}-4x=3xx
Combine 6x^{2} and 2x^{2} to get 8x^{2}.
8x^{2}-4x=3x^{2}
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
8x^{2}-4x-3x^{2}=0
Subtract 3x^{2} from both sides.
5x^{2}-4x=0
Combine 8x^{2} and -3x^{2} to get 5x^{2}.
\frac{5x^{2}-4x}{5}=\frac{0}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x^{2}-\frac{4}{5}x=\frac{0}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
x^{2}-\frac{4}{5}x=0
Divide 0 by 5.
x^{2}-\frac{4}{5}x+\left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)^{2}=\left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)^{2}
Divide -\frac{4}{5}, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get -\frac{2}{5}. Then add the square of -\frac{2}{5} to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x^{2}-\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{4}{25}=\frac{4}{25}
Square -\frac{2}{5} by squaring both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
\left(x-\frac{2}{5}\right)^{2}=\frac{4}{25}
Factor x^{2}-\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{4}{25}. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(x-\frac{2}{5}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{4}{25}}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2}{5} x-\frac{2}{5}=-\frac{2}{5}
Simplify.
x=\frac{4}{5} x=0
Add \frac{2}{5} to both sides of the equation.
