x^{2}\times 3,4=x\times 3
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
x^{2}\times 3,4-x\times 3=0
Subtract x\times 3 from both sides.
x^{2}\times 3,4-3x=0
Multiply -1 and 3 to get -3.
x\left(3,4x-3\right)=0
Factor out x.
x=0 x=\frac{15}{17}
To find equation solutions, solve x=0 and \frac{17x}{5}-3=0.
x^{2}\times 3,4=x\times 3
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
x^{2}\times 3,4-x\times 3=0
Subtract x\times 3 from both sides.
x^{2}\times 3,4-3x=0
Multiply -1 and 3 to get -3.
3,4x^{2}-3x=0
All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. The quadratic formula gives two solutions, one when ± is addition and one when it is subtraction.
x=\frac{-\left(-3\right)±\sqrt{\left(-3\right)^{2}}}{2\times 3,4}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 3,4 for a, -3 for b, and 0 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{-\left(-3\right)±3}{2\times 3,4}
Take the square root of \left(-3\right)^{2}.
x=\frac{3±3}{2\times 3,4}
The opposite of -3 is 3.
x=\frac{3±3}{6,8}
Multiply 2 times 3,4.
x=\frac{6}{6,8}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{3±3}{6,8} when ± is plus. Add 3 to 3.
x=\frac{15}{17}
Divide 6 by 6,8 by multiplying 6 by the reciprocal of 6,8.
x=\frac{0}{6,8}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{3±3}{6,8} when ± is minus. Subtract 3 from 3.
x=0
Divide 0 by 6,8 by multiplying 0 by the reciprocal of 6,8.
x=\frac{15}{17} x=0
The equation is now solved.
x^{2}\times 3,4=x\times 3
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
x^{2}\times 3,4-x\times 3=0
Subtract x\times 3 from both sides.
x^{2}\times 3,4-3x=0
Multiply -1 and 3 to get -3.
3,4x^{2}-3x=0
Quadratic equations such as this one can be solved by completing the square. In order to complete the square, the equation must first be in the form x^{2}+bx=c.
\frac{3,4x^{2}-3x}{3,4}=\frac{0}{3,4}
Divide both sides of the equation by 3,4, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x^{2}+\left(-\frac{3}{3,4}\right)x=\frac{0}{3,4}
Dividing by 3,4 undoes the multiplication by 3,4.
x^{2}-\frac{15}{17}x=\frac{0}{3,4}
Divide -3 by 3,4 by multiplying -3 by the reciprocal of 3,4.
x^{2}-\frac{15}{17}x=0
Divide 0 by 3,4 by multiplying 0 by the reciprocal of 3,4.
x^{2}-\frac{15}{17}x+\left(-\frac{15}{34}\right)^{2}=\left(-\frac{15}{34}\right)^{2}
Divide -\frac{15}{17}, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get -\frac{15}{34}. Then add the square of -\frac{15}{34} to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x^{2}-\frac{15}{17}x+\frac{225}{1156}=\frac{225}{1156}
Square -\frac{15}{34} by squaring both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
\left(x-\frac{15}{34}\right)^{2}=\frac{225}{1156}
Factor x^{2}-\frac{15}{17}x+\frac{225}{1156}. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(x-\frac{15}{34}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{225}{1156}}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x-\frac{15}{34}=\frac{15}{34} x-\frac{15}{34}=-\frac{15}{34}
Simplify.
x=\frac{15}{17} x=0
Add \frac{15}{34} to both sides of the equation.
