4x^{2}+3x-2x^{2}=0
Subtract 2x^{2} from both sides.
2x^{2}+3x=0
Combine 4x^{2} and -2x^{2} to get 2x^{2}.
x\left(2x+3\right)=0
Factor out x.
x=0 x=-\frac{3}{2}
To find equation solutions, solve x=0 and 2x+3=0.
4x^{2}+3x-2x^{2}=0
Subtract 2x^{2} from both sides.
2x^{2}+3x=0
Combine 4x^{2} and -2x^{2} to get 2x^{2}.
x=\frac{-3±\sqrt{3^{2}}}{2\times 2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 2 for a, 3 for b, and 0 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{-3±3}{2\times 2}
Take the square root of 3^{2}.
x=\frac{-3±3}{4}
Multiply 2 times 2.
x=\frac{0}{4}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{-3±3}{4} when ± is plus. Add -3 to 3.
x=0
Divide 0 by 4.
x=-\frac{6}{4}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{-3±3}{4} when ± is minus. Subtract 3 from -3.
x=-\frac{3}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-6}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
x=0 x=-\frac{3}{2}
The equation is now solved.
4x^{2}+3x-2x^{2}=0
Subtract 2x^{2} from both sides.
2x^{2}+3x=0
Combine 4x^{2} and -2x^{2} to get 2x^{2}.
\frac{2x^{2}+3x}{2}=\frac{0}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x^{2}+\frac{3}{2}x=\frac{0}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
x^{2}+\frac{3}{2}x=0
Divide 0 by 2.
x^{2}+\frac{3}{2}x+\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{2}=\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{2}
Divide \frac{3}{2}, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get \frac{3}{4}. Then add the square of \frac{3}{4} to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x^{2}+\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{9}{16}=\frac{9}{16}
Square \frac{3}{4} by squaring both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
\left(x+\frac{3}{4}\right)^{2}=\frac{9}{16}
Factor x^{2}+\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{9}{16}. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(x+\frac{3}{4}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{9}{16}}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{4} x+\frac{3}{4}=-\frac{3}{4}
Simplify.
x=0 x=-\frac{3}{2}
Subtract \frac{3}{4} from both sides of the equation.
