x^{2}=32-6
Subtract 6 from both sides.
x^{2}=26
Subtract 6 from 32 to get 26.
x=\sqrt{26} x=-\sqrt{26}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}+6-32=0
Subtract 32 from both sides.
x^{2}-26=0
Subtract 32 from 6 to get -26.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-26\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -26 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-26\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{104}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -26.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{26}}{2}
Take the square root of 104.
x=\sqrt{26}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{26}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\sqrt{26}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{26}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\sqrt{26} x=-\sqrt{26}
The equation is now solved.
