x^{2}=\frac{3}{45}
Divide both sides by 45.
x^{2}=\frac{1}{15}
Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{45} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
x=\frac{\sqrt{15}}{15} x=-\frac{\sqrt{15}}{15}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}=\frac{3}{45}
Divide both sides by 45.
x^{2}=\frac{1}{15}
Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{45} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
x^{2}-\frac{1}{15}=0
Subtract \frac{1}{15} from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-\frac{1}{15}\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -\frac{1}{15} for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-\frac{1}{15}\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{\frac{4}{15}}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -\frac{1}{15}.
x=\frac{0±\frac{2\sqrt{15}}{15}}{2}
Take the square root of \frac{4}{15}.
x=\frac{\sqrt{15}}{15}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{2\sqrt{15}}{15}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{15}}{15}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{2\sqrt{15}}{15}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{15}}{15} x=-\frac{\sqrt{15}}{15}
The equation is now solved.
