x^{2}=\frac{25}{49}
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
x=\frac{5}{7} x=-\frac{5}{7}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}=\frac{25}{49}
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
x^{2}-\frac{25}{49}=0
Subtract \frac{25}{49} from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-\frac{25}{49}\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -\frac{25}{49} for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-\frac{25}{49}\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{\frac{100}{49}}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -\frac{25}{49}.
x=\frac{0±\frac{10}{7}}{2}
Take the square root of \frac{100}{49}.
x=\frac{5}{7}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{10}{7}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{5}{7}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{10}{7}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{5}{7} x=-\frac{5}{7}
The equation is now solved.
