x^{2}=\frac{10}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
x=\frac{\sqrt{70}}{7} x=-\frac{\sqrt{70}}{7}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}=\frac{10}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
x^{2}-\frac{10}{7}=0
Subtract \frac{10}{7} from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-\frac{10}{7}\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -\frac{10}{7} for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-\frac{10}{7}\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{\frac{40}{7}}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -\frac{10}{7}.
x=\frac{0±\frac{2\sqrt{70}}{7}}{2}
Take the square root of \frac{40}{7}.
x=\frac{\sqrt{70}}{7}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{2\sqrt{70}}{7}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{70}}{7}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{2\sqrt{70}}{7}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{70}}{7} x=-\frac{\sqrt{70}}{7}
The equation is now solved.
