x^{2}=54
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
x=3\sqrt{6} x=-3\sqrt{6}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}=54
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
x^{2}-54=0
Subtract 54 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-54\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -54 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-54\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{216}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -54.
x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{6}}{2}
Take the square root of 216.
x=3\sqrt{6}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{6}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-3\sqrt{6}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{6}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=3\sqrt{6} x=-3\sqrt{6}
The equation is now solved.
