3x^{2}\times 4=10
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
12x^{2}=10
Multiply 3 and 4 to get 12.
x^{2}=\frac{10}{12}
Divide both sides by 12.
x^{2}=\frac{5}{6}
Reduce the fraction \frac{10}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
x=\frac{\sqrt{30}}{6} x=-\frac{\sqrt{30}}{6}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
3x^{2}\times 4=10
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
12x^{2}=10
Multiply 3 and 4 to get 12.
12x^{2}-10=0
Subtract 10 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 12\left(-10\right)}}{2\times 12}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 12 for a, 0 for b, and -10 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 12\left(-10\right)}}{2\times 12}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-48\left(-10\right)}}{2\times 12}
Multiply -4 times 12.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{480}}{2\times 12}
Multiply -48 times -10.
x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{30}}{2\times 12}
Take the square root of 480.
x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{30}}{24}
Multiply 2 times 12.
x=\frac{\sqrt{30}}{6}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{30}}{24} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{30}}{6}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{30}}{24} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{30}}{6} x=-\frac{\sqrt{30}}{6}
The equation is now solved.
