x^{2}=9+3^{2}
Calculate 3 to the power of 2 and get 9.
x^{2}=9+9
Calculate 3 to the power of 2 and get 9.
x^{2}=18
Add 9 and 9 to get 18.
x=3\sqrt{2} x=-3\sqrt{2}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}=9+3^{2}
Calculate 3 to the power of 2 and get 9.
x^{2}=9+9
Calculate 3 to the power of 2 and get 9.
x^{2}=18
Add 9 and 9 to get 18.
x^{2}-18=0
Subtract 18 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-18\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -18 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-18\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{72}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -18.
x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{2}}{2}
Take the square root of 72.
x=3\sqrt{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{2}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-3\sqrt{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{2}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=3\sqrt{2} x=-3\sqrt{2}
The equation is now solved.
