180x^{2}-150000+600x^{2}=642000
Use the distributive property to multiply 30 by 6x^{2}-5000.
780x^{2}-150000=642000
Combine 180x^{2} and 600x^{2} to get 780x^{2}.
780x^{2}=642000+150000
Add 150000 to both sides.
780x^{2}=792000
Add 642000 and 150000 to get 792000.
x^{2}=\frac{792000}{780}
Divide both sides by 780.
x^{2}=\frac{13200}{13}
Reduce the fraction \frac{792000}{780} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 60.
x=\frac{20\sqrt{429}}{13} x=-\frac{20\sqrt{429}}{13}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
180x^{2}-150000+600x^{2}=642000
Use the distributive property to multiply 30 by 6x^{2}-5000.
780x^{2}-150000=642000
Combine 180x^{2} and 600x^{2} to get 780x^{2}.
780x^{2}-150000-642000=0
Subtract 642000 from both sides.
780x^{2}-792000=0
Subtract 642000 from -150000 to get -792000.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 780\left(-792000\right)}}{2\times 780}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 780 for a, 0 for b, and -792000 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 780\left(-792000\right)}}{2\times 780}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-3120\left(-792000\right)}}{2\times 780}
Multiply -4 times 780.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{2471040000}}{2\times 780}
Multiply -3120 times -792000.
x=\frac{0±2400\sqrt{429}}{2\times 780}
Take the square root of 2471040000.
x=\frac{0±2400\sqrt{429}}{1560}
Multiply 2 times 780.
x=\frac{20\sqrt{429}}{13}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2400\sqrt{429}}{1560} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{20\sqrt{429}}{13}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2400\sqrt{429}}{1560} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{20\sqrt{429}}{13} x=-\frac{20\sqrt{429}}{13}
The equation is now solved.
