x=\frac{2\sqrt{21}}{3} x=-\frac{2\sqrt{21}}{3}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}-\frac{28}{3}=0
Subtract \frac{28}{3} from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-\frac{28}{3}\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -\frac{28}{3} for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-\frac{28}{3}\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{\frac{112}{3}}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -\frac{28}{3}.
x=\frac{0±\frac{4\sqrt{21}}{3}}{2}
Take the square root of \frac{112}{3}.
x=\frac{2\sqrt{21}}{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{4\sqrt{21}}{3}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{2\sqrt{21}}{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{4\sqrt{21}}{3}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{2\sqrt{21}}{3} x=-\frac{2\sqrt{21}}{3}
The equation is now solved.
