54=6xx
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
54=6x^{2}
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
6x^{2}=54
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x^{2}=\frac{54}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x^{2}=9
Divide 54 by 6 to get 9.
x=3 x=-3
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
54=6x^{2}
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
6x^{2}=54
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
6x^{2}-54=0
Subtract 54 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 6\left(-54\right)}}{2\times 6}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 6 for a, 0 for b, and -54 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 6\left(-54\right)}}{2\times 6}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-24\left(-54\right)}}{2\times 6}
Multiply -4 times 6.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{1296}}{2\times 6}
Multiply -24 times -54.
x=\frac{0±36}{2\times 6}
Take the square root of 1296.
x=\frac{0±36}{12}
Multiply 2 times 6.
x=3
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±36}{12} when ± is plus. Divide 36 by 12.
x=-3
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±36}{12} when ± is minus. Divide -36 by 12.
x=3 x=-3
The equation is now solved.
