36x^{2}-106=-6
Calculate the square root of 36 and get 6.
36x^{2}-106+6=0
Add 6 to both sides.
36x^{2}-100=0
Add -106 and 6 to get -100.
9x^{2}-25=0
Divide both sides by 4.
\left(3x-5\right)\left(3x+5\right)=0
Consider 9x^{2}-25. Rewrite 9x^{2}-25 as \left(3x\right)^{2}-5^{2}. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).
x=\frac{5}{3} x=-\frac{5}{3}
To find equation solutions, solve 3x-5=0 and 3x+5=0.
36x^{2}-106=-6
Calculate the square root of 36 and get 6.
36x^{2}=-6+106
Add 106 to both sides.
36x^{2}=100
Add -6 and 106 to get 100.
x^{2}=\frac{100}{36}
Divide both sides by 36.
x^{2}=\frac{25}{9}
Reduce the fraction \frac{100}{36} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.
x=\frac{5}{3} x=-\frac{5}{3}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
36x^{2}-106=-6
Calculate the square root of 36 and get 6.
36x^{2}-106+6=0
Add 6 to both sides.
36x^{2}-100=0
Add -106 and 6 to get -100.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 36\left(-100\right)}}{2\times 36}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 36 for a, 0 for b, and -100 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 36\left(-100\right)}}{2\times 36}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-144\left(-100\right)}}{2\times 36}
Multiply -4 times 36.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{14400}}{2\times 36}
Multiply -144 times -100.
x=\frac{0±120}{2\times 36}
Take the square root of 14400.
x=\frac{0±120}{72}
Multiply 2 times 36.
x=\frac{5}{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±120}{72} when ± is plus. Reduce the fraction \frac{120}{72} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 24.
x=-\frac{5}{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±120}{72} when ± is minus. Reduce the fraction \frac{-120}{72} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 24.
x=\frac{5}{3} x=-\frac{5}{3}
The equation is now solved.
