3x^{2}\times 8=25
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
24x^{2}=25
Multiply 3 and 8 to get 24.
x^{2}=\frac{25}{24}
Divide both sides by 24.
x=\frac{5\sqrt{6}}{12} x=-\frac{5\sqrt{6}}{12}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
3x^{2}\times 8=25
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
24x^{2}=25
Multiply 3 and 8 to get 24.
24x^{2}-25=0
Subtract 25 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 24\left(-25\right)}}{2\times 24}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 24 for a, 0 for b, and -25 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 24\left(-25\right)}}{2\times 24}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-96\left(-25\right)}}{2\times 24}
Multiply -4 times 24.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{2400}}{2\times 24}
Multiply -96 times -25.
x=\frac{0±20\sqrt{6}}{2\times 24}
Take the square root of 2400.
x=\frac{0±20\sqrt{6}}{48}
Multiply 2 times 24.
x=\frac{5\sqrt{6}}{12}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±20\sqrt{6}}{48} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{5\sqrt{6}}{12}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±20\sqrt{6}}{48} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{5\sqrt{6}}{12} x=-\frac{5\sqrt{6}}{12}
The equation is now solved.
