x^{2}+54=11
Multiply 9 and 6 to get 54.
x^{2}=11-54
Subtract 54 from both sides.
x^{2}=-43
Subtract 54 from 11 to get -43.
x=\sqrt{43}i x=-\sqrt{43}i
The equation is now solved.
x^{2}+54=11
Multiply 9 and 6 to get 54.
x^{2}+54-11=0
Subtract 11 from both sides.
x^{2}+43=0
Subtract 11 from 54 to get 43.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 43}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and 43 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 43}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-172}}{2}
Multiply -4 times 43.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{43}i}{2}
Take the square root of -172.
x=\sqrt{43}i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{43}i}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\sqrt{43}i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{43}i}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\sqrt{43}i x=-\sqrt{43}i
The equation is now solved.
