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