x=\frac{-\left(-28\right)±\sqrt{\left(-28\right)^{2}-4\times 6\times 30}}{2\times 6}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 6 for a, -28 for b, and 30 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{-\left(-28\right)±\sqrt{784-4\times 6\times 30}}{2\times 6}

x=\frac{-\left(-28\right)±8}{2\times 6}
Take the square root of 64.
x=\frac{28±8}{2\times 6}
The opposite of -28 is 28.
x=\frac{28±8}{12}
Multiply 2 times 6.
x=\frac{36}{12}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{28±8}{12} when ± is plus. Add 28 to 8.
x=3
Divide 36 by 12.
x=\frac{20}{12}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{28±8}{12} when ± is minus. Subtract 8 from 28.

x^{2}-\frac{14}{3}x+\left(-\frac{7}{3}\right)^{2}=-5+\left(-\frac{7}{3}\right)^{2}
Divide -\frac{14}{3}, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get -\frac{7}{3}. Then add the square of -\frac{7}{3} to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x^{2}-\frac{14}{3}x+\frac{49}{9}=-5+\frac{49}{9}
Square -\frac{7}{3} by squaring both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
x^{2}-\frac{14}{3}x+\frac{49}{9}=\frac{4}{9}
Add -5 to \frac{49}{9}.
\left(x-\frac{7}{3}\right)^{2}=\frac{4}{9}
Factor x^{2}-\frac{14}{3}x+\frac{49}{9}. 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{7}{3}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{4}{9}}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x-\frac{7}{3}=\frac{2}{3} x-\frac{7}{3}=-\frac{2}{3}
