Solve
14x=x^2+36
0=x^2-14x+36
since you can't factor, you can apply the quadratic formula to get:
x = {10.61, 3.39}
.
details of quadratic formula follows:

Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:



For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant : .

Discriminant d=52 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .




Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 10.605551275464, 3.39444872453601. Here's your graph:
