3x^{2}-1=3
Add -6 and 5 to get -1.
3x^{2}=3+1
Add 1 to both sides.
3x^{2}=4
Add 3 and 1 to get 4.
x^{2}=\frac{4}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3} x=-\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
3x^{2}-1=3
Add -6 and 5 to get -1.
3x^{2}-1-3=0
Subtract 3 from both sides.
3x^{2}-4=0
Subtract 3 from -1 to get -4.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 3\left(-4\right)}}{2\times 3}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 3 for a, 0 for b, and -4 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 3\left(-4\right)}}{2\times 3}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-12\left(-4\right)}}{2\times 3}
Multiply -4 times 3.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{48}}{2\times 3}
Multiply -12 times -4.
x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{3}}{2\times 3}
Take the square root of 48.
x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{3}}{6}
Multiply 2 times 3.
x=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{3}}{6} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{3}}{6} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3} x=-\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}
The equation is now solved.
