300=x^{2}+4\times 6
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
300=x^{2}+24
Multiply 4 and 6 to get 24.
x^{2}+24=300
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x^{2}=300-24
Subtract 24 from both sides.
x^{2}=276
Subtract 24 from 300 to get 276.
x=2\sqrt{69} x=-2\sqrt{69}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
300=x^{2}+4\times 6
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
300=x^{2}+24
Multiply 4 and 6 to get 24.
x^{2}+24=300
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x^{2}+24-300=0
Subtract 300 from both sides.
x^{2}-276=0
Subtract 300 from 24 to get -276.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-276\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -276 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-276\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{1104}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -276.
x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{69}}{2}
Take the square root of 1104.
x=2\sqrt{69}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{69}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-2\sqrt{69}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{69}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=2\sqrt{69} x=-2\sqrt{69}
The equation is now solved.
