x^{2}+400=4900
Multiply 140 and 35 to get 4900.
x^{2}=4900-400
Subtract 400 from both sides.
x^{2}=4500
Subtract 400 from 4900 to get 4500.
x=30\sqrt{5} x=-30\sqrt{5}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}+400=4900
Multiply 140 and 35 to get 4900.
x^{2}+400-4900=0
Subtract 4900 from both sides.
x^{2}-4500=0
Subtract 4900 from 400 to get -4500.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-4500\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -4500 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-4500\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{18000}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -4500.
x=\frac{0±60\sqrt{5}}{2}
Take the square root of 18000.
x=30\sqrt{5}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±60\sqrt{5}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-30\sqrt{5}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±60\sqrt{5}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=30\sqrt{5} x=-30\sqrt{5}
The equation is now solved.
