x\times 2a=-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-49c}
Variable a cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2a.
2ax=-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-49c}
Reorder the terms.
2xa=-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-49c}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2xa}{2x}=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-49c}}{2x}
Divide both sides by 2x.
a=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-49c}}{2x}
Dividing by 2x undoes the multiplication by 2x.
a=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-49c}}{2x}\text{, }a\neq 0
