588x2−3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
588x2=0+3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
588x2=3
Divide both sides
588588x2=5883
Divide the numbers
x2=5883
Cancel out the common factor 3
x2=1961
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±1961
