3x^{2}\times 4=5
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
12x^{2}=5
Multiply 3 and 4 to get 12.
x^{2}=\frac{5}{12}
Divide both sides by 12.
x=\frac{\sqrt{15}}{6} x=-\frac{\sqrt{15}}{6}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
3x^{2}\times 4=5
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
12x^{2}=5
Multiply 3 and 4 to get 12.
12x^{2}-5=0
Subtract 5 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 12\left(-5\right)}}{2\times 12}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 12 for a, 0 for b, and -5 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 12\left(-5\right)}}{2\times 12}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-48\left(-5\right)}}{2\times 12}
Multiply -4 times 12.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{240}}{2\times 12}
Multiply -48 times -5.
x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{15}}{2\times 12}
Take the square root of 240.
x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{15}}{24}
Multiply 2 times 12.
x=\frac{\sqrt{15}}{6}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{15}}{24} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{15}}{6}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{15}}{24} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{15}}{6} x=-\frac{\sqrt{15}}{6}
The equation is now solved.
