x^{2}=36-6
Subtract 6 from both sides.
x^{2}=30
Subtract 6 from 36 to get 30.
x=\sqrt{30} x=-\sqrt{30}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}+6-36=0
Subtract 36 from both sides.
x^{2}-30=0
Subtract 36 from 6 to get -30.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-30\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -30 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-30\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{120}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -30.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{30}}{2}
Take the square root of 120.
x=\sqrt{30}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{30}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\sqrt{30}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{30}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\sqrt{30} x=-\sqrt{30}
The equation is now solved.
