4x^{2}+6+2x^{2}=10
Add 2x^{2} to both sides.
6x^{2}+6=10
Combine 4x^{2} and 2x^{2} to get 6x^{2}.
6x^{2}=10-6
Subtract 6 from both sides.
6x^{2}=4
Subtract 6 from 10 to get 4.
x^{2}=\frac{4}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x^{2}=\frac{2}{3}
Reduce the fraction \frac{4}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
x=\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3} x=-\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
4x^{2}+6-10=-2x^{2}
Subtract 10 from both sides.
4x^{2}-4=-2x^{2}
Subtract 10 from 6 to get -4.
4x^{2}-4+2x^{2}=0
Add 2x^{2} to both sides.
6x^{2}-4=0
Combine 4x^{2} and 2x^{2} to get 6x^{2}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 6\left(-4\right)}}{2\times 6}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 6 for a, 0 for b, and -4 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 6\left(-4\right)}}{2\times 6}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-24\left(-4\right)}}{2\times 6}
Multiply -4 times 6.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{96}}{2\times 6}
Multiply -24 times -4.
x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{6}}{2\times 6}
Take the square root of 96.
x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{6}}{12}
Multiply 2 times 6.
x=\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{6}}{12} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{6}}{12} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3} x=-\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}
The equation is now solved.
