7x^{2}+3=8
Divide 6 by 2 to get 3.
7x^{2}=8-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
7x^{2}=5
Subtract 3 from 8 to get 5.
x^{2}=\frac{5}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
x=\frac{\sqrt{35}}{7} x=-\frac{\sqrt{35}}{7}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
7x^{2}+3=8
Divide 6 by 2 to get 3.
7x^{2}+3-8=0
Subtract 8 from both sides.
7x^{2}-5=0
Subtract 8 from 3 to get -5.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 7\left(-5\right)}}{2\times 7}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 7 for a, 0 for b, and -5 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 7\left(-5\right)}}{2\times 7}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-28\left(-5\right)}}{2\times 7}
Multiply -4 times 7.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{140}}{2\times 7}
Multiply -28 times -5.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{35}}{2\times 7}
Take the square root of 140.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{35}}{14}
Multiply 2 times 7.
x=\frac{\sqrt{35}}{7}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{35}}{14} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{35}}{7}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{35}}{14} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{35}}{7} x=-\frac{\sqrt{35}}{7}
The equation is now solved.
