Question 58901: I have 2 questions. One I need to see if I got right and the other I have no clue about. Thanks to anyone willing to assist.
Solve the following equation for x.
23x^2 + 17x= -11
23x^2 + 17x + 11=0
I get that there is no solution b/c this can't be factored. Correct?
The other is 1 + radical(x-5) =0
I dont have the radical symbol. Just to be clear, x-5 is under the radical.

Question 59525: (I have used the tiny ` characters to space and preserve formatting)
```````_``````````````_
x^2 \/3 + 6x + 7 \/3
TRIED:
------
``````'`````_
(x^2+7)\/3 =-6x
3x^2+21 = -18x
3x^2+18x+21 ->> Solved by quadratic formula
Didn't work :(
I have the feeling that I need to SQUARE both sides instead of multiplying by 3, but I don't see why multiplying by 3 wouldn't work, because it does the same thing to both sides.
Any help appreciated!
