100x^{2}-12=0
Combine 64x^{2} and 36x^{2} to get 100x^{2}.
100x^{2}=12
Add 12 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x^{2}=\frac{12}{100}
Divide both sides by 100.
x^{2}=\frac{3}{25}
Reduce the fraction \frac{12}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.
x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{5} x=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{5}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
100x^{2}-12=0
Combine 64x^{2} and 36x^{2} to get 100x^{2}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 100\left(-12\right)}}{2\times 100}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 100 for a, 0 for b, and -12 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 100\left(-12\right)}}{2\times 100}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-400\left(-12\right)}}{2\times 100}
Multiply -4 times 100.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{4800}}{2\times 100}
Multiply -400 times -12.
x=\frac{0±40\sqrt{3}}{2\times 100}
Take the square root of 4800.
x=\frac{0±40\sqrt{3}}{200}
Multiply 2 times 100.
x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{5}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±40\sqrt{3}}{200} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{5}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±40\sqrt{3}}{200} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{5} x=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{5}
The equation is now solved.
