780x^{2}=642000+6000
Add 6000 to both sides.
780x^{2}=648000
Add 642000 and 6000 to get 648000.
x^{2}=\frac{648000}{780}
Divide both sides by 780.
x^{2}=\frac{10800}{13}
Reduce the fraction \frac{648000}{780} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 60.
x=\frac{60\sqrt{39}}{13} x=-\frac{60\sqrt{39}}{13}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
780x^{2}-6000-642000=0
Subtract 642000 from both sides.
780x^{2}-648000=0
Subtract 642000 from -6000 to get -648000.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 780\left(-648000\right)}}{2\times 780}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 780 for a, 0 for b, and -648000 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 780\left(-648000\right)}}{2\times 780}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-3120\left(-648000\right)}}{2\times 780}
Multiply -4 times 780.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{2021760000}}{2\times 780}
Multiply -3120 times -648000.
x=\frac{0±7200\sqrt{39}}{2\times 780}
Take the square root of 2021760000.
x=\frac{0±7200\sqrt{39}}{1560}
Multiply 2 times 780.
x=\frac{60\sqrt{39}}{13}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±7200\sqrt{39}}{1560} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{60\sqrt{39}}{13}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±7200\sqrt{39}}{1560} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{60\sqrt{39}}{13} x=-\frac{60\sqrt{39}}{13}
The equation is now solved.
