7x^{2}-9=0
Combine 4x^{2} and 3x^{2} to get 7x^{2}.
7x^{2}=9
Add 9 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x^{2}=\frac{9}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
x=\frac{3\sqrt{7}}{7} x=-\frac{3\sqrt{7}}{7}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
7x^{2}-9=0
Combine 4x^{2} and 3x^{2} to get 7x^{2}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 7\left(-9\right)}}{2\times 7}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 7 for a, 0 for b, and -9 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 7\left(-9\right)}}{2\times 7}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-28\left(-9\right)}}{2\times 7}
Multiply -4 times 7.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{252}}{2\times 7}
Multiply -28 times -9.
x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{7}}{2\times 7}
Take the square root of 252.
x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{7}}{14}
Multiply 2 times 7.
x=\frac{3\sqrt{7}}{7}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{7}}{14} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{3\sqrt{7}}{7}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{7}}{14} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{3\sqrt{7}}{7} x=-\frac{3\sqrt{7}}{7}
The equation is now solved.
