x^{2}+5=8\times 12
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
x^{2}+5=96
Multiply 8 and 12 to get 96.
x^{2}=96-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
x^{2}=91
Subtract 5 from 96 to get 91.
x=\sqrt{91} x=-\sqrt{91}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}+5=8\times 12
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
x^{2}+5=96
Multiply 8 and 12 to get 96.
x^{2}+5-96=0
Subtract 96 from both sides.
x^{2}-91=0
Subtract 96 from 5 to get -91.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-91\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -91 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-91\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{364}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -91.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{91}}{2}
Take the square root of 364.
x=\sqrt{91}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{91}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\sqrt{91}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{91}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\sqrt{91} x=-\sqrt{91}
The equation is now solved.
