Most of the work below is wrong having a mistake; I might fix and repost later:



square both sides....





Square both sides AGAIN...






You might need to check if one or both of those solutions work in the original equation.

General Solution Formula for Quadratic Equation:


-
D=16*22579=16*67*337


---------check to be sure which of these work in case only one.


*That solution is wrong. The correct results, not yet both checked, are x=24 or x=1012.
